EDD Extension Approval Taking Forever - Received Last Payment in September, Still Waiting
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I got my last unemployment payment back in September and I've been waiting since then to hear if my extension was approved. I sent in the doctor's certification they asked for, and they confirmed they received it. But now it's just radio silence. Anyone else dealing with this? How long did it take for your extension to get approved?

EDD SDI payment issued today - how long until it shows on BofA card?
Just saw that my SDI payment for the week of January 7-13 was issued today (showing as 'paid' on my claim status). Can anyone tell me how long it typically takes to actually show up on my Bank of America EDD debit card? Is it usually same day, or does it take 1-2 business days? This is my first disability payment and I have some urgent bills due tomorrow. Thanks!

Just wanted to follow up - did your payment show up yet? Most of my SDI payments hit my card the next morning after showing as paid.
Yes! It just appeared on my card about an hour ago (around 8:30am). Looks like they do the deposit batches early morning. Thanks everyone for the help!
hey just so u know for next time... if u ever need money RIGHT away u can withdraw cash from any bofa atm with the edd card as soon as it shows paid on the website even if the app doesnt show it yet... ive done this lots of times
This is NOT true! I tried this and the ATM said insufficient funds! Don't spread misinformation that could get people in trouble with overdraft fees!
@Kara Yoshida I think it might depend on your specific situation or timing. I ve'heard mixed experiences from people - some say it works if the funds are actually available even before showing in the app, others have had issues like @Philip Cowan mentioned. Probably safer to wait for it to show up in the BofA account first to avoid any potential problems!
EDD Medical Forms Still Pending After a Week - No Updates
I submitted my medical forms to EDD a week ago, but they still show as pending. I haven't received any confirmation or updates. Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it usually take for them to process these forms? I'm getting worried about the delay.

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes so long 🦥😴
Hey now, don't insult sloths like that. They're way more efficient than EDD 😂
I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Submitted my medical forms 10 days ago and still showing as pending. It's so frustrating not knowing if they even received them properly. I've been checking the portal obsessively every day 😅 From what I'm reading here, it sounds like this is unfortunately pretty normal for EDD. Definitely going to try some of the suggestions mentioned - especially checking spam folder and using the online messaging system. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, it helps to know we're not alone in this!
EDD SDI payment period suddenly changed from 14 to 9 days, no receipt - anyone else experiencing this?
Has anyone else had their payment period suddenly change? I usually get paid for 14 days, but this time it was only 9 days. I'm really confused and frustrated. I didn't get a receipt in my inbox like I normally do either. I'm trying to figure out why this happened and how to get a receipt. Anyone else dealing with this or know what's going on?

Hey OP, sorry youre dealing with this. Quick question - did you have any changes in your work status or income recently? Sometimes that can trigger changes in payment periods.
Nope, nothing changed on my end. That's why im so confused about all this 😕
Could it be related to new state policies or updates? Those catch people off guard sometimes.
I'm dealing with something similar! My payment period dropped from 14 to 10 days last week with zero explanation. What's really frustrating is that when I tried to call EDD, I was on hold for 3+ hours before the line just disconnected. Has anyone found a reliable way to get through to someone who can actually explain these changes? I'm worried this might affect my future payments too.
How long for SDI claim update and direct deposit? Any notification?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to get my SDI claim updated and get the direct deposit sent to my account. Anyone know how long this usually takes? Will I get a text notification or something when it's done? I'm getting kinda anxious waiting for it.

have u tried sacrificing a goat to the SDI gods? heard that speeds things up 🐐🔮
Instructions unclear. Sacrificed my bank account instead. Still no payment. 😭
Hey Haley! I just went through this same process last month. For me, the direct deposit took about 10 business days to show up after my claim was approved. You won't get a text notification, but you should get an email confirmation once the payment is processed. I'd recommend checking your SDI online account every few days - that's usually where you'll see updates first. Also make sure your banking info is correct in the system (like Ali mentioned) because that's a common holdup. Hang in there, it's frustrating but it will come through!

Guys I think I cracked the code. If you press 2, then 4, then 1, then 3 when calling, you get to a different queue. I got through in 20 minutes yesterday!

I'm in the exact same boat! Filed my extension paperwork in early September and still haven't heard anything back. It's been almost 2 months now and I'm starting to panic about my bills. I've tried calling but like everyone says, it's impossible to get through. Really hoping someone here has some good news or at least knows what the typical timeline is supposed to be. This whole process is so stressful when you're already dealing with a disability 😔
