EDD Continuing Eligibility Questionnaire (DE 2593) delay - anyone else waiting?

You're definitely not alone. EDD is experiencing significant delays processing the DE 2593 forms right now. I submitted mine almost 5 weeks ago and only got confirmation yesterday that it was received and processed. According to the EDD representative I spoke with, they're dealing with a backlog due to staffing shortages and a new processing system they implemented in March. As long as you submitted your form before the deadline they gave you, your benefits should continue without interruption while they process it.

same thing happening to me rn! sent mine in almost 4 weeks ago nothing back yet but $$ still coming

The delay with DE 2593 forms is actually pretty common right now. I work as a job counselor and many of my clients are experiencing the same issue. Here's what you should do: 1. Take a screenshot of your submission confirmation if you have one 2. Continue certifying for benefits as normal 3. Keep an eye on your UI Online inbox for any messages 4. If your payments stop or you get a notice about missing information, THEN you should contact EDD immediately In most cases, they're still processing benefits even with the delay in acknowledging the DE 2593. The questionnaire is mainly to verify your continued eligibility, but they typically don't halt payments while reviewing it unless they find a specific issue.

I think the DE 2593 is different from the bi-weekly certification. Isn't that the form they send out randomly to make sure your eligible for benefits still? I got one last month and just ignored it lol

I had the same issue with my DE 2593 form back in February. Submitted it and heard NOTHING for almost 6 weeks! I called EDD every single day trying to get through but kept getting the "we're experiencing high call volume" message. My payments suddenly stopped after 4 weeks with no explanation. I was going crazy trying to reach someone! I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual EDD rep. They have this service that helps you bypass the phone queue. They showed me their process in this video: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The EDD agent confirmed they received my form but it was sitting in a queue waiting to be processed. They expedited it and my payments resumed the next day. Definitely worth it if you're stuck waiting and need answers!

My sister works for EDD (not saying this to brag just for context lol) and she mentioned they're SUPER behind on processing paperwork right now. They had some budget cuts and lost a bunch of staff who were handling the continuing eligibility reviews. She said as long as you submitted before your deadline you should be fine even with the delays. If you're really worried though you can always try calling but good luck getting through!!

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO!! I sent my DE 2593 in FEBRUARY and didn't hear ANYTHING for 2 months!!! Then suddenly got a notice saying my benefits were DISQUALIFIED because I "failed to provide information"!!! I had to appeal and go through this whole nightmare process to prove I sent it in on time! Make sure you have PROOF you submitted it and keep calling them until someone helps you!!! The system is BROKEN!!

Just to provide an update on the DE 2593 processing times - I attended an EDD stakeholder meeting last week where they addressed this specific issue. They confirmed there's currently a 4-6 week processing delay for these forms statewide. They're prioritizing forms from claimants who are nearing the end of their benefit year. If you submitted yours in early April, you should expect to see confirmation by mid-to-late May. Unless you receive a specific notice requesting additional information, your benefits should continue uninterrupted during this review period. If you're concerned, you can also check your claim status by selecting "Contact EDD" from your UI Online account and submitting a secure question about your DE 2593 status. This often gets a response faster than calling.

I'm in the exact same boat! Submitted my DE 2593 on March 25th and it's been radio silence for over a month now. What's really frustrating is that I submitted it online through UI Online and got a confirmation screen, but when I log back in there's no record of it anywhere. My payments are still coming through thankfully, but the anxiety is killing me wondering if something went wrong. Has anyone else noticed their online submission just disappearing from their account history? I'm starting to wonder if there's a glitch in their system where the forms are getting lost between submission and processing. Might try that secure message option that Ravi mentioned to see if I can get some clarity on what's happening with mine.

I'm dealing with the same frustrating situation! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 2nd and it's been over 3 weeks with zero acknowledgment. What's really concerning me is that I've heard mixed stories - some people say their payments continued throughout the delay, but others like Astrid had their benefits suddenly cut off. I've been checking my UI Online account obsessively every day hoping to see some kind of update or message, but nothing. The uncertainty is the worst part because you don't know if you should be worried or if this is just the "new normal" with EDD's processing delays. Has anyone found a reliable way to check the status without having to battle through their phone system? I saw Omar mention Claimyr but I'm hoping there might be a free option first before I have to pay for a service just to talk to someone about a form I already submitted on time.
