I’m completing the DE 2557 form for my state disability claim. Do I need to enter exact wage amounts for every quarter being reviewed? I don’t have the W2 for one of the quarters so can I make a guesstimate?

Hi Jasondra, I don’t have a firm answer for that but I’m guessing you can, you can call SDI just to make sure but usually if you don’t know the exact amount of something they let you guesstimate. $5 discount for first time callers using Claimyr! https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Hi Jasondra! From my experience with EDD forms, they typically understand that you might not have every exact figure on hand. A reasonable estimate should be fine for the DE 2557 form, especially since EDD can verify wage information directly with employers through their systems. Just make sure your estimate is as close as possible based on what you remember - maybe check old pay stubs or bank deposits if you have them. The important thing is being honest about not having the exact amount rather than leaving it blank. If there's a significant discrepancy later, you can always provide clarification when they follow up.
