EDD Overpayment Confusion: Disability vs. Sick Leave & Baby Bonding Claim Help Needed
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with EDD. I sent in my extended disability form through my doctor, but now I'm dealing with an overpayment issue. Apparently, you can't get paid sick leave and disability benefits at the same time? I had no clue about this. The weird part is, I got two different messages with different amounts - one online and one in a letter. I'm cool with paying it back, but the numbers don't add up. Anyone else run into this? Also, I'm trying to figure out when I can file for baby bonding. Any advice would be appreciated!

Help with EDD appeal form - What's the 'recovery date'?

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 😤
I get it, but for me it was worth it. Saved me days of frustration and got my issue resolved. Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money, ya know?

Has anyone had luck with contacting their local representative? I've heard sometimes they can help push things along
I tried that last month. They took my info but I haven't heard anything back yet. Might be worth a shot tho
EDD disability payment 20+ days late, no notification. What to do?
I haven't received my disability payment in over 20 days. I'm really worried and don't know what to do. I haven't gotten any notifications or letters from EDD about the delay. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Quick question - have you been certifying every two weeks still? Sometimes if you miss a certification, it can hold up payments.
Yep, I've been keeping up with all my certifications. That's why I'm so confused about the delay 😕

Quick question - did your doctor submit the form electronically or by mail? I've heard electronic submissions are processed faster.

AuthorThey sent it electronically. But who knows if EDD actually received it 🤷♂️

Oof, yeah. Maybe ask for confirmation when you call? Can't hurt to double-check.

Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand EDD's rules? 🤣

Seriously! I've read their website front to back and I still don't understand half of it.
