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.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Submitted my DE 2593 on March 30th and it's been almost 4 weeks with no confirmation. Like you, my payments are still coming through but I keep checking my UI Online account multiple times a day hoping to see some kind of update. Reading through all these responses is actually making me feel a lot better - it sounds like this is a widespread issue with EDD's processing delays rather than something specific to our individual claims. The fact that so many people are experiencing 4-6 week delays and their payments are continuing gives me some peace of mind. I think I'm going to try sending a secure message through UI Online like Ravi suggested before attempting to call. At least then I'll have a paper trail if I need to prove I was proactive about following up on my submission. Thanks for posting this - it's reassuring to know we're all in the same boat waiting for EDD to catch up with their backlog!

I'm dealing with this exact same issue! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 8th and it's been over 2 weeks with complete silence from EDD. What's really nerve-wracking is that I've been reading horror stories online about people's benefits getting cut off without warning, but seeing all your experiences here is actually really reassuring. It sounds like the 4-6 week processing delay is pretty standard right now, which is frustrating but at least means I'm not alone. I'm definitely going to try that secure message option through UI Online that several people have mentioned - seems like a good middle ground between waiting it out and paying for a service to get through on the phone. Thanks Eduardo for starting this thread! It's so helpful to have a place where we can share our experiences and timeline updates. I'll post back here if I hear anything through the secure messaging system.

I'm experiencing the exact same delay! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 5th and it's been 3 weeks with no acknowledgment whatsoever. Reading through everyone's experiences here is honestly such a relief - I was starting to think there was something wrong with my specific claim or that my form got lost in the system somehow. The 4-6 week processing delay that Ravi mentioned from the EDD stakeholder meeting actually makes total sense given what everyone is reporting. It's frustrating that EDD doesn't communicate these delays proactively, but at least knowing it's a systemic issue rather than individual problems gives me some peace of mind. I'm going to try the secure message approach through UI Online this week to see if I can get any status update. Will definitely report back here if I hear anything! Thanks Eduardo for starting this discussion - it's been incredibly helpful to see everyone's timelines and know we're all dealing with the same bureaucratic delays together.

I just wanted to add my experience to this thread since I was dealing with the same DE 2593 delay anxiety a few weeks ago! I submitted mine on March 15th and finally got confirmation last week (so about 6 weeks total). My payments continued the entire time without any issues. What really helped ease my stress was keeping a simple log of when I submitted it, screenshot of any confirmation pages, and dates when I followed up. I also sent a secure message through UI Online after 4 weeks and got a response within 3 days confirming they had received my form and it was "in queue for processing." For everyone still waiting - I know the uncertainty is awful, but based on my experience and everyone else's here, it really does seem like this is just their new normal processing time. As long as you submitted before your deadline, you should be fine! The secure messaging route is definitely worth trying if you need peace of mind.

I'm going through the exact same thing! Submitted my DE 2593 on March 28th and it's been over 4 weeks with absolutely no confirmation from EDD. Like many of you, my payments are still coming through normally, but the lack of acknowledgment is really stressful. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly helpful though - it's clear this isn't just affecting a few people but seems to be a widespread issue with EDD's processing system right now. The 4-6 week timeline that Ravi mentioned from the stakeholder meeting matches what most people are reporting, which gives me some confidence that this is just bureaucratic delays rather than lost paperwork. I think I'm going to try the secure message route through UI Online this week since several people have had success getting confirmation that way within a few days. It's frustrating that EDD doesn't proactively communicate about these delays, but at least we have this community to share experiences and support each other through the waiting process. Thanks Eduardo for starting this thread - it's been a lifesaver for my anxiety!

I'm in the same exact situation and this thread has been such a relief to find! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 6th and it's been 3+ weeks with zero acknowledgment from EDD. I've been refreshing my UI Online account multiple times daily hoping to see some kind of update or confirmation, but nothing. Reading everyone's experiences here - especially Faith's successful 6-week timeline and Ravi's insights from the EDD stakeholder meeting - has really helped calm my nerves. It's clear this 4-6 week processing delay is affecting tons of people right now and isn't specific to individual claims. I'm definitely going to try sending a secure message through UI Online this week after seeing several people get responses within a few days that way. It's so frustrating that EDD doesn't give us any heads up about these delays, but I'm grateful we can all support each other through this stressful waiting period. Will report back if I hear anything from the secure messaging system!

I'm dealing with this exact same issue! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 14th and it's been about 2 weeks with complete silence from EDD. I was starting to panic thinking something went wrong with my submission, but reading through all these experiences has been incredibly reassuring. It's clear that the 4-6 week processing delay is affecting everyone right now - not just isolated cases. What's really helpful is seeing that people's payments are continuing throughout the delay period, which gives me some peace of mind about my own situation. I think I'll wait another week or two before trying the secure message approach through UI Online, since several people have had success getting confirmation that way within a few days. It's frustrating that EDD doesn't communicate these delays upfront, but at least we have this community to share experiences and timelines. Thanks Eduardo for starting this thread - it's been a huge help for managing the anxiety of waiting!

I'm going through the exact same situation right now! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 9th and it's been almost 3 weeks with absolutely no confirmation from EDD. Like so many others here, my payments are still coming through normally but the complete silence is really nerve-wracking. This thread has been incredibly helpful - it's such a relief to know that the 4-6 week processing delay is widespread and not something specific to my claim. Reading Faith's timeline where she eventually got confirmation after 6 weeks with payments continuing throughout really gives me hope that this is just EDD's current processing reality. I'm planning to send a secure message through UI Online next week if I still don't hear anything, since several people have had success getting responses within a few days that way. It's frustrating that EDD doesn't give us any heads up about these delays, but I'm so grateful for this community where we can all share our experiences and support each other through the waiting process. Will definitely update here if I get any response from the secure messaging system!

I'm experiencing the exact same delay and anxiety! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 7th and it's been over 3 weeks with complete radio silence from EDD. Like everyone else here, my payments are continuing normally but the lack of any acknowledgment is really stressful. This thread has been absolutely invaluable - I was starting to think I had somehow messed up my submission or that my form got lost in their system. Reading all these similar timelines and seeing that the 4-6 week processing delay is affecting so many people makes me feel much better about my situation. I'm definitely going to try the secure message approach through UI Online this week after seeing Faith's success getting confirmation within 3 days. It's really frustrating that EDD doesn't proactively communicate about these delays, but I'm so grateful we can all share our experiences here and support each other through this waiting process. Has anyone who sent secure messages recently gotten any updates on whether the processing times are getting better or if they're still looking at that 4-6 week timeline? I'll definitely post back here with any response I get!

I'm going through the exact same thing! Submitted my DE 2593 on April 13th and it's been about 2.5 weeks with zero confirmation from EDD. I was starting to panic thinking my form disappeared into the digital void, but reading everyone's experiences here has been such a huge relief. It's actually reassuring to see that the 4-6 week processing delay is affecting literally everyone right now - not just my claim. What really helps is seeing that people's payments are continuing throughout the waiting period, which takes away some of that anxiety about suddenly losing benefits. I think I'm going to try the secure message route through UI Online next week if I still don't hear anything. Faith's experience getting confirmation within 3 days that way sounds much better than trying to battle through their phone system. It's so frustrating that EDD doesn't give us any heads up about these delays, but I'm grateful we can all support each other here. Will definitely update if I get any response from messaging them!
