SDI Filing: Last Work Day vs. Delivery Date - Which Affects Benefits More?
Hey everyone, I'm pregnant and trying to figure out when to file for SDI. I started working and paying into it last August. My question is, should I file based on my last day of work in March or my delivery date in April? I'm not sure how the qualifying quarters affect this. My average weekly pay is around $1100 if that helps. Anyone been through this recently?

Quick question - does anyone know if bonuses affect the SDI calculation? I got a performance bonus last quarter and I'm not sure if that changes anything.
EDD CA ID Verification Error - Can I Use Permanent Residency Card Instead?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble verifying my identity online for my application. When I try to enter my California ID number, it keeps giving me an error. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm wondering if I can use my permanent residency card instead. Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

Plot twist: the error is actually a feature to discourage people from applying 🤔
Wouldn't surprise me at this point tbh 🙄
Hey, I work in IT (not for EDD tho). Sometimes these errors can be caused by special characters in your name or address. Try entering everything in all caps with no punctuation. It's a long shot, but it's worked for some people I know.
Wow, I never would have thought of that. I'll give it a try, thanks!
Struggling to get SDI claim update - any tips for reaching a human?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to get an update on my SDI claim. I've been waiting for a while now and I'm getting worried. Has anyone had any luck getting through to them lately? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

Hey OP, what's your claim about? I'm curious if different types of claims are being processed faster than others.
Mine's for pregnancy disability. I've heard some people say theirs went through quickly, but I'm going on week 6 of waiting now.
Oof, pregnancy claims are supposed to be expedited. Definitely keep pushing on that one, OP!
I'm starting to think we need to organize some kind of mass protest or something. This is getting ridiculous. Who's with me? ✊
Count me in! We could do a virtual sit-in on their social media accounts or something.
Great idea in theory, but knowing SDI they probably wouldn't even notice for like 6 months 🙃
EDD biweekly payment short $2112 - payment schedule ended but still not receiving full amount
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payments. I haven't received all my money for the last two weeks. My biweekly rate is supposed to be $2112.00, but I'm not getting the full amount. The payment schedule that was withholding part of my payment has ended, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to follow up with EDD about missing payments?

Heads up, there was a system update last week. Might be causing delays. Give it a few more days before you panic.
Source? I haven't heard about any updates.
It was mentioned in a press release on the EDD website. I'll try to find the link.

Unfortunately, repaying your employer doesn't automatically cancel out the EDD overpayment issue. EDD and your employer operate independently, so you'll need to address both situations separately. Since your employer restored your sick hours after you repaid them, you should contact EDD directly about your specific situation. You'll need to explain that: 1. You were initially paid both sick pay and SDI benefits simultaneously 2. You've since repaid your employer 3. Your sick hours have been restored to your balance You'll likely need to provide documentation showing you've repaid your employer and that your sick hours were reinstated. The overpayment notice from EDD requires a direct response - they won't automatically know about your arrangement with your employer. When you contact EDD, request specific guidance on how to resolve the overpayment notice given that you've corrected the situation with your employer. They might require a formal appeal or specific documentation to resolve the issue on their end.
