Hey OP, any updates? Were you able to get through to anyone?

I went through something similar about 6 months ago. Here's what worked for me: I logged into my SDI Online account and looked under "Forms" or "Documents" - sometimes the continued claim certification shows up there even if you don't get an email notification. Also, try clearing your browser cache and logging back in. The EDD website is notoriously glitchy and sometimes forms don't load properly. If that doesn't work, you can also try accessing your account from a different device or browser. The form is usually available 2 weeks before your current certification period expires. Hope this helps!

Ive been in the same boat. Its a total nightmare. I finally got through after weeks of trying. Don't give up!

I've been through this exact same situation! For the ID.me email issue, try contacting their customer support directly through their help center - they can manually verify your identity and help you regain access or create a new account even if you can't access your old email. Also, since you haven't gotten SDI checks since August, you might be eligible for back payments once you get this sorted out. In the meantime, try calling EDD's SDI line (1-800-480-3287) early in the morning - around 8 AM seems to be the sweet spot. Document everything and keep trying - I know it's exhausting but you'll get through this! 💪

I'm in a similar situation with my pregnancy disability - started with complete bed rest but now doctor says I can do limited activities but not my nursing job. My payments continue without issues as long as my doctor completes the supplemental forms every time there's a change in restrictions. Just make sure your doctor is specific about WHY you can't do your regular job with the current restrictions. Documentation is everything with EDD!

Just want to add one more important tip - when your doctor fills out the supplemental form, make sure they include specific details about your lifting restrictions (like "no lifting over 10 pounds" or "no repetitive bending"). Generic statements like "light duty" can sometimes cause delays or requests for clarification from EDD. Also, if your restrictions change again during recovery, you'll need another supplemental form each time. I learned this the hard way when my restrictions kept changing during my recovery from rotator cuff surgery. The more specific your doctor is about what you can and cannot do, the smoother the process will be!

tldr; the disability insurance system is a dumpster fire and we're all just trying to stay warm. 🔥🗑️

Just wanted to share my recent experience - I was in a similar situation last month where my SDI form seemed to disappear into thin air. After 5 weeks of no updates, I finally got through to someone who told me they had received it but it was sitting in a processing backlog. Apparently there's been a huge surge in disability claims lately and they're understaffed. The rep was actually pretty helpful once I got through - she was able to give me a timeline estimate and a direct reference number to use in future calls. My advice: when you do get someone on the phone, ask for a reference number for your specific inquiry. It makes follow-up calls so much easier. Hang in there, it's frustrating but you'll get through this! 💪

sooo i just realized my dr did something similar on my form...worried now...

So glad you got it sorted out quickly! That's exactly what I would have recommended - getting a completely fresh form is always the safest route with EDD. The fact that your doctor's office was understanding and expedited it shows they deal with these issues regularly. You made the right call not risking the submission with those errors. Hope your claim processes smoothly now and you get your benefits soon! 🤞
