EDD gave me wrong number for SDI claim - need correct disability insurance contact info ASAP!

I found a way to solve disability insurance claim filing issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvslCcTrW68

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a total mess. I had the same issue last month. The correct number for disability claims is 1-800-480-3287. Make sure you call during their business hours, which are 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

The EDD website is actually pretty helpful if you can navigate it. Have you tried filing your claim online? It might save you the hassle of calling altogether.

I swear, dealing with EDD is like playing phone tag with a ghost. 👻 Been trying to sort out my claim for weeks now. Anyone else feel like theyre stuck in bureaucracy purgatory?

Here's a comprehensive guide to navigating the EDD disability claims process: • First, make sure you're eligible. You need to have paid into State Disability Insurance (SDI) through your payroll taxes. • Gather all necessary documents: medical certification, last paystub, and any other relevant medical records. • File your claim within 49 days of becoming disabled. You can do this online at https://www.edd.ca.gov/disability/ or by mail. • If you need to speak with someone, call 1-800-480-3287 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. • Be patient and persistent. The system is overwhelmed, so it might take multiple attempts. • Keep detailed records of all your communications with EDD. • If you're really stuck, consider contacting your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Hope this helps! Remember, you're not alone in this struggle. 💪

have u tried faxing ur claim? i no it sounds old school but sometimes it works when the phone lines r jammed

I'm in the same boat, been trying to get through for weeks. The whole system needs an overhaul. It's ridiculous that in 2023 we're still dealing with these kinds of issues. 😤
