How long for CA EDD to process claim? Filed Friday, need timeline
Hey everyone, I'm trying to process my claim and it's been a while. I'm in California and wondering if anyone knows how long it typically takes? It's Friday afternoon now, so I'm guessing nothing will happen over the weekend. Any ideas on what to expect?

EDD says my SDI medical certification is inadmissible, but it's showing as submitted online. What now?
I got a notice saying my medical certification for my SDI claim was inadmissible. But I'm 100% sure I submitted it! I can see it right there on my online SDI account. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do now?

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.
I hadn't even thought of that! Do you know how I would go about contacting them?
Just google '[your area] state representative' and you should find their office contact info. Give em a call and explain your situation.
EDD: Necesito nuevo médico y mi pago está retrasado. ¿Alguien más?
Necesito ayuda con EDD. Me mandaron al médico del estado, pero no estaba disponible. Llamé para que me asignen otro médico y también para preguntar sobre mi pago que no he recibido. Envié una carta explicando el problema el viernes pasado. ¿Alguien ha pasado por algo similar? ¿Cuánto tiempo suele tardar en resolverse?

OP, asegúrate de mencionar ESPECÍFICAMENTE que necesitas un nuevo médico cuando hables con ellos. A veces se enfocan en un solo problema y ignoran el resto. También, pregunta sobre el estado de tu pago. No asumas que van a revisar todo automáticamente.
Gracias por el consejo! Definitivamente lo haré. Me preocupa que se olviden de lo del médico y solo se enfoquen en el pago.
EDD claim processing for over a month - what to do?
My unemployment claim has been processing for over a month now and I'm getting really worried. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait time? I'm not sure what to do at this point. Should I try calling them or just keep waiting? Any advice would be appreciated!

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The current administration has completely failed us when it comes to managing unemployment. It's a disgrace! 😡
Oh please, don't make this political. The system has been broken for years, regardless of who's in charge. 🙄
Wake up! Everything is political. If we don't speak up, nothing will change!
Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough, but try to stay positive. Have you considered looking into any temporary work while you wait? Might help ease some financial stress.
Thanks for the encouragement. I've been doing some gig work on the side, but it's not enough to cover all my expenses. Just hoping this gets resolved soon.
SDI hasn't processed my medical certification for 2 weeks, no payments for a month. Help!
I haven't gotten my disability payments for a month now. It's so frustrating! I sent in my medical certification two weeks ago, but it still hasn't been processed. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get through to someone at SDI? It's nearly impossible to reach them!

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there before they send out notices.
Yeah, I check it obsessively. No updates there either 😞
Unpopular opinion: maybe we should privatize the disability insurance system. The government clearly can't handle it efficiently.
Because private insurance companies are sooo much better at paying claims? 🙄
Nah, we just need to properly fund and staff the current system. Privatization would just make it worse for most people.

2 months?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help.

Nah, I haven't. Might give that a shot tho. At this point, I'm willing to try anything 😅

Quick question - did you file online or by mail? I've heard online applications tend to be processed faster.
