I'm dealing with a similar situation - had to mail in my claim forms for several weeks. Just wanted to share that I also sent mine to the same address you mentioned. It took about 3-4 weeks to process, but they did eventually get to them. Make sure you keep copies of everything you send and consider sending it certified mail so you have proof of delivery. The online system is definitely easier when it's working properly, but mailing is a viable backup option. Hope yours gets processed quickly!

Good luck with your claim forms! I had a similar situation last year and mailing them to that address worked for me too. Just be prepared for a longer wait time compared to online submissions - mine took about 6 weeks to process. One tip: include a brief cover letter explaining the date range you're submitting for and why you're mailing instead of submitting online. It seemed to help speed things up a bit. Keep checking your EDD account online to see when they've been processed. Hope everything works out for you!

I'm in a similar boat - had to mail in several weeks of claim forms recently. That's the correct address you're using. A few tips from my experience: definitely send it certified mail with return receipt so you have proof they received it, make copies of everything before sending, and write your SSN on each form clearly. It took about 5 weeks for mine to be processed, but they did backdate all the payments once they got to it. Also keep trying to certify online when you can - sometimes the system comes back up unexpectedly. The combination of mailing the backlog and staying current online when possible worked best for me. Hang in there!

I'm going through something similar right now - waiting on mailed claim forms to be processed. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful! It sounds like the key things are: send certified mail, keep copies, include a cover letter explaining the situation, and be patient for 4-6 weeks. I'm curious though - for those who successfully got their mailed forms processed, did you continue to receive the usual weekly certification prompts online while waiting, or did everything go quiet until they processed the backlog? I want to make sure I don't miss anything while my forms are in the mail. Thanks for sharing all this valuable info!

Just wanted to add my experience to this thread! I had to mail in about 8 weeks of claim forms earlier this year to that same address. A couple additional tips that helped me: 1) Number your pages clearly (like "Week 1 of 8" etc.) so they don't get mixed up, 2) Include a simple spreadsheet listing all the weeks you're submitting with dates - it helps them organize everything, and 3) Write "CLAIM FORMS - URGENT PROCESSING NEEDED" on the outside of the envelope. Mine took about 4.5 weeks to process, but when they did, everything was backdated correctly and I received all my payments. The waiting is stressful but the system does work eventually. Keep checking your account online for updates and don't hesitate to call if it goes past 6 weeks with no movement. Good luck Anna!

I've been following this thread and wanted to share my recent experience with mailing EDD forms to help others! I just went through the same process about 2 months ago - had to mail in 6 weeks of forms to that exact address. Here's what worked for me: I sent everything certified mail ($3.80 extra but worth the peace of mind), included a brief cover letter with my name, SSN, and which weeks I was submitting, and made sure each form was clearly dated and signed. It took exactly 5 weeks for them to process everything, but once they did, all my payments came through backdated to the correct weeks. One thing I noticed - my online account showed some weird status updates during processing (like "pending" or "not paid" for those weeks) but everything cleared up once they finished reviewing the mailed forms. The key is being patient and keeping copies of everything. Also keep certifying online for any new weeks that come up while you wait! The system definitely works, it just takes time. Hang in there Anna, you're doing the right thing by mailing them in!

I went through this exact same process last year and wanted to offer some encouragement! That's the correct mailing address you're using. A few things that helped me: definitely send it certified mail so you have tracking, make copies of everything before sending, and be prepared to wait about 4-6 weeks for processing. The good news is that once they process your forms, they will backdate all the payments to the correct weeks, so you won't lose any benefits. While you're waiting, keep trying to certify online when the system is available for any new weeks. I also recommend calling the EDD customer service line (1-800-300-5616) around week 5 if you haven't seen any movement in your account, just to confirm they received your paperwork. The waiting is stressful but the system does work! You're doing the right thing by mailing them in rather than missing those weeks entirely. Keep us posted on how it goes!

I'm dealing with a similar situation and had to mail in my forms recently too. That's definitely the right address - I used the same one. Just want to echo what others have said about sending it certified mail with tracking. It cost me about $4 extra but totally worth it for the peace of mind. My forms took about 5 weeks to process, but once they did, all my payments came through backdated correctly. One thing that helped me was creating a simple tracking sheet with all the weeks I was submitting and their dates - made it easier to follow up later. Also keep copies of everything! The waiting is nerve-wracking but hang in there, the system does work. Keep us posted on how it goes for you!

Just wanted to add my recent experience to help others going through the same thing! I had to mail in 7 weeks of claim forms to that same address about 3 months ago. Here's what worked for me: I sent everything via certified mail with signature confirmation (cost about $6 but worth every penny), included a cover letter with my SSN and a list of all the weeks I was submitting, and made sure to write clearly on each form. It took exactly 6 weeks for them to process, but once they did, I received all my backdated payments within 3 days. One tip that really helped - I called the main EDD line at week 5 just to confirm they had received my package, and the representative was able to see it in their system and gave me an estimated processing timeline. Don't get discouraged if your online account shows confusing information during processing - mine showed "not paid" for those weeks until everything was suddenly updated all at once. Keep certifying online for any new weeks while you wait, and definitely keep those tracking receipts! The mailing method absolutely works, it just requires patience. Wishing you the best with your claim processing!

I'm currently in the exact same situation - just finished filling out my claim forms for several weeks and getting ready to mail them to that same address. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly helpful and reassuring! It sounds like the key points are: send certified mail with tracking, keep copies of everything, include a cover letter with your SSN and week details, and be patient for 4-6 weeks of processing time. I was really worried about potentially losing those benefit weeks, but hearing from so many people who successfully got their forms processed and payments backdated gives me hope. Going to follow all the advice shared here - certified mail, clear labeling, and a tracking spreadsheet. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, it really helps newcomers like me feel less anxious about this process! Anna, I hope your forms get processed quickly! Please keep us updated on how it goes - I'll be watching for updates since I'll be going through the same timeline soon.

I'm in a similar situation and just wanted to share some additional tips that helped me when I had to mail in my claim forms last month! Along with all the great advice already shared here about certified mail and keeping copies, I also recommend: 1. Take photos of each completed form with your phone before mailing - gives you a quick digital backup 2. Write your phone number on the cover letter in case they need to contact you 3. Use a large manila envelope so the forms don't get folded or crumpled My forms took about 5 weeks to process, but like others mentioned, everything was backdated correctly once they got to it. The waiting is definitely stressful, but seeing all these success stories in this thread is really encouraging! Anna, you're doing everything right by mailing them in. That address has worked for many people here. Keep us updated on your progress - hoping for a smooth process for you!
