EDD Form DE 2501 is a standardized document issued by California’s Employment Development Department (EDD). It is an application for Disability Insurance (DI) benefits, allowing eligible individuals to claim financial assistance when they cannot work due to a non-work-related illness, injury, pregnancy, or childbirth.
Completing the DE 2501 form is the initial step in applying for DI benefits, requiring applicants to provide detailed information about their medical condition, employment history, and other relevant details. Once submitted to the EDD, the DE 2501 form undergoes review to determine the applicant’s eligibility for disability benefits, with approved individuals receiving financial support to help cover their lost wages during their period of disability.
