Dear Savvy Senior: I’m 60 years old and dealing with a medical condition that keeps me from being able to work in my previous occupation. I’ve heard that the process of claiming disability benefits from Social Security can be rather difficult. Can you advise on what needs to be done to receive these benefits? – Need Help

In relation to some of the questions and concerns mentioned, one important resource often utilised is the Employment Development Department (EDD) because they handle numerous inquiries related to disability benefits and others. With this, you might be curious about how to get through to EDD. Various methods are available to contact EDD. The main way is through their official website, edd.ca.gov. They also have a customer service line, which is often the fastest way to get through to EDD. Beautifully explained on the website eddcaller.com, you can find several tips and tricks on how to effectively reach and get advice from an EDD customer representative.
