EDD Continued Payments Delayed - Anyone Else Experiencing Issues?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my continued payments. It's been a while since I last received one and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced delays or problems with their payments recently? Any advice on what I should do next?

Guys, I heard they're implementing a new system next month that's supposed to streamline everything. Might be worth waiting it out if you can?

Source? I'll believe it when I see it tbh

Fair enough. My cousin works for the state (not EDD) and mentioned it. Could just be a rumor tho

Anyone else notice that payments seem to come through faster if you certify right at midnight when the system updates? Might be confirmation bias, but it's worked for me the last few times.

Interesting theory. I'll have to try that next time!

EDD Disability Payment Stopped - Need Help Getting Through to a Rep!

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my disability payment and I need to talk to someone at EDD. Has anyone had any luck getting through to them lately? I've been trying to call but keep getting put on hold or disconnected. It's so frustrating! Any tips or advice would be really appreciated.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. Just a thought!

Need help extending SDI claim for postpartum issues after PFL - EDD transition advice?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I've been on disability for childbirth and now I'm dealing with some postpartum issues. I'm wondering if I can extend my current disability claim or if I need to file a new one. Also, I'm currently on Paid Family Leave and I'm not sure how that'll work when I switch back to disability. Anyone been through this before? Any advice would be super helpful!

anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to? the system is broken af

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it complicated on purpose.

Quick question - does anyone know if the 12 month period for SDI resets after childbirth? Or does it continue from your last claim?

0 coins

Pretty sure it continues from your last claim, but don't quote me on that. Best to check with EDD directly.

0 coins

It depends on your specific situation. If you're going back on SDI for a different condition, it might be treated as a new claim. Definitely something to clarify with them.

EDD claim status stuck - last payment 4 weeks ago, doctor sent renewal but no update. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my claim status. I sent in my renewal through my doctor a while back, but when I call to check on it, they're telling me the last processed payment was four weeks ago. I'm worried my doctor might not have actually sent the renewal. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to confirm if the renewal was actually received?

have u tried faxing them directly? sometimes old school methods work best with these dinosaur systems lol

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's been 6 weeks since my last payment and crickets from them. The anxiety is killing me. Hang in there!

Thanks, you too! It's comforting to know I'm not alone, even if the situation sucks.

EDD SDI Refund Issue - $59.99 Approved but Confused About Next Steps

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payment and could use some advice. I recently filed for SDI and got approved, but now I'm facing some payment problems. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do next?

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes that can give you more info about payments and refunds.

0 coins

I did check online, but it doesn't show anything about the refund. Just says my claim is approved.

0 coins

Hmm, that's frustrating. Might be worth trying to contact them through social media. Sometimes their Twitter support is surprisingly responsive.

0 coins

idk about refunds but it took me 3 months to get my first sdi payment. the system is so broken its not even funny anymore
