EDD disability payments delayed after c-section, can't submit PFL claim. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability benefits. My delivery method changed from vaginal to c-section, which extended my return-to-work date. Now my disability payments are delayed, and I'm not sure how to proceed. My last payment was about a month ago, but I'm not supposed to go back to work for another month. I think I'm still owed some money - my profile shows a remaining benefit amount. I'm also supposed to submit my Paid Family Leave claim soon, but I know I shouldn't do that until I've received all my disability payments. Any advice on how to handle this situation and get the payments I'm owed?

This happened to my sister last year. It took forever, but she eventually got her money. Hang in there!

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the entire disability/paid leave system? It's 2025 for crying out loud, why is this still so complicated?

SDI benefits suddenly stopped - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my SDI benefits. They suddenly stopped and I'm not sure why. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next? Any advice would be really appreciated!

This happened to me last year. Turns out my doctor forgot to submit some paperwork. Double check with your healthcare provider to make sure everything's been sent in properly.

Doctors can be so flaky with paperwork 🙄 Always gotta stay on top of them!

EDD needs to resubmit paperwork for independent medical eval - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my independent medical evaluation for EDD. I called the medical office they told me to go to, and they said EDD needs to resubmit the paperwork. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do when I call EDD about this?

Pro tip: if you can, go to an EDD office in person. Bring ALL your docs. Sometimes face-to-face gets better results than phone tag.

This! I second this advice. Got my issue sorted in one visit after weeks of phone hell.

Anyone else notice how the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you need it most? 🙃 Maybe they should use some of our tax dollars to upgrade their tech from 1995

LOL for real tho. It's like they're running it on a Commodore 64 or smthn 💾

Hey now, don't insult the Commodore 64 like that! 😂

EDD Form 2593 Submitted in January - No Response Yet. Help with Supplemental Certification?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my supplemental certification. I submitted form 2593 back in January, but I haven't heard anything back. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to process these? Also, I'm not sure what type of supplemental certification I'm supposed to be getting. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm in the same boat. Filed my supplemental cert back in December and still crickets. This whole system is broken af 🤦‍♂️

0 coins

December?! That's ridiculous. Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

0 coins

No, I haven't. Didn't even know that was an option. I'll look into it, thanks!

PSA: Always keep copies of everything you submit. You never know when they'll claim they didn't receive something.

THIS. Learned this the hard way. Now I screenshot everything too.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to file a claim online but I'm having some trouble. Has anyone gone through this process recently? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if the system is just being difficult.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy. where everything's made up and the points don't matter 🤡

🤣🤣🤣 Ain't that the truth. Sometimes I think they make it difficult on purpose.

Has anyone had luck contacting them through social media? I've heard some people get responses that way.

I tried Twitter once. They just sent me a link to the same broken website 🙄

Facebook worked for me! But it took like a week to get a response.
