Workers comp payment timeframe? How long did you wait for your first check?
I got hurt at work and filed for workers comp. Now I'm waiting to get paid but I have no idea how long it's gonna take. Anyone know what the typical timeframe is for getting workers comp payments? I'm starting to worry about bills piling up while I wait.

EDD Extension Update: How Long Did It Take for Your Account to Reflect Changes?
Hey everyone, I just got an update on my extension. Anyone else in the same boat? How long did it take for you to see the changes reflected in your account? I'm hoping it won't take too long, but you never know with these things. Fingers crossed!

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about these delays? I've heard it can sometimes speed things up.
How do you even find out who your local rep is? 🤔
Just Google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have websites where you can input your address and it'll show you who represents you.
EDD Missing Wages Reported 2 Months Ago - Still No Response. What to Do?
Has anyone else been waiting forever to get their missing wages sorted out? I reported some missing wages like 2 months ago and sent in all my W-2s and ID verification stuff. Still haven't heard a peep back. My disability is over now, but I'm really hoping I can still get that money I lost. Anyone know how long this usually takes or if there's anything else I can do?

Pro tip: If you can, try faxing your documents instead of mailing them. Sounds old school, but I swear it got my claim moving faster.
What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!
Got certified mail from doctor about SDI payments - what to expect?

Pro tip: If you're having trouble understanding the medical jargon in these letters, ask your doctor for a plain language summary. It's your right to understand your own medical info!
Does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of your claim online? Tired of being on hold for hours just to get a simple update smh
Yeah, there should be an online portal where you can log in and check. Have you tried the official website?
I did but it's always 'under maintenance' when I try to log in 🙄 Typical.
Need help calculating EDD benefit amounts and payment timeframes
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my claim and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone here had experience calculating benefit amounts or figuring out payment timeframes? I could really use some help or advice on this.

Guys, I just found out that my claim was denied because my former employer contested it. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do now?
Oh no, that sucks! You should definitely appeal the decision. Make sure you have all your documentation ready and be prepared to explain your side of the story.
I went through this last year. Definitely appeal, and consider getting a free consultation with an employment lawyer. They can give you advice on how to present your case.

Quick question - did you file the claim yourself or did your employer do it? Sometimes if the employer drags their feet it can slow everything down.

AuthorMy boss said they filed it, but now I'm wondering if I should double check on that. Thanks for bringing this up!

Not sure about your state, but where I am, theres a website where you can check the status of your claim. Might be worth looking into if you havent already
