I wanted to update everyone - I talked to my doctor yesterday and he was familiar with the Supplemental Certificate form. He submitted it electronically right after my appointment! I checked my SDI Online account this morning and can see that my claim end date has already been updated with the extension. Such a relief! Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice.

So glad to hear your extension went through smoothly, Harper! Just wanted to add for anyone else reading this - if you're planning ahead for future extensions, it's worth asking your doctor's office about their typical turnaround time for these forms. Some offices process them same-day if you bring it up during an appointment, while others might need a few days. Also, if you're seeing a specialist for your condition, make sure they're the one filling out the form rather than your primary care doctor, since EDD sometimes questions extensions when they come from doctors who aren't directly treating the specific condition. Hope your recovery continues to go well!

Anyone know if they've updated the system recently? Maybe it's a new bug they haven't ironed out yet.

I actually had the E24 error just last week! What finally worked for me was using incognito/private browsing mode. Something about the regular browser session was causing issues. Also make sure you're not using any browser extensions that might interfere with the site (ad blockers, password managers, etc.). Try disabling those temporarily. The EDD website is pretty finicky with certain browser settings. Hope this helps!

Glad to hear it worked out! For future reference, this timing is pretty typical, and you're right that the holiday schedule can add delays. For your future payments, you can generally expect them to arrive 2-3 business days after they show as sent in the system.

This is such a common source of anxiety when you're waiting for that first SDI payment! I went through the exact same thing last year - the waiting period between "sent" and actually receiving the funds feels endless, especially when you have bills due. The holiday timing definitely doesn't help since banks process more slowly. It sounds like you're getting good advice here about the 2-5 business day window. One thing that helped me was setting up text alerts with my bank so I'd get notified the moment any deposit hit my account. Hang in there - based on everyone's experiences here, it should show up soon!

Just to follow up on this thread - did you get your claim withdrawal form submitted? If you're facing complications and potential bed rest, you should act quickly on this. If your doctor puts you on bed rest before you can withdraw and reapply, you might be stuck with the lower benefit amount for the duration.

Good luck with everything! Just wanted to add that you should keep copies of all your paperwork when you mail the withdrawal form - the EDD has been known to "lose" documents. I'd recommend sending it certified mail with a return receipt so you have proof they received it. Also, if you do end up needing to go on bed rest before July, don't panic - you can still file the new claim as long as you've successfully withdrawn the first one. The medical certification can be updated to reflect any changes in your condition. Fingers crossed this all works out for you and you get the benefits you deserve!

I'm new to this community and going through the exact same thing! Certified my SDI benefits 5 days ago and only seeing my first payment from March in the history. The anxiety is killing me because I have rent due next week and no idea if my payment is even processing. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been so helpful - I had no clue about checking the Forms section or that payments can hit your bank before showing up on EDD's website. It's both reassuring and frustrating to see how common these delays seem to be lately. The inconsistency is wild - some people get paid in 5 days, others wait 3 weeks. Thanks to everyone for sharing your stories and tips, especially about that Claimyr service if we need to call EDD. Hoping all of us waiting get some good news soon!

I'm new to this community and unfortunately experiencing the exact same situation! I certified for my SDI benefits 6 days ago and my payment history only shows my initial payment from March - nothing for the recent certification. The anxiety is so real when you're depending on these payments and have bills coming due with no idea what's happening behind the scenes. This thread has been incredibly reassuring though - I had no clue about checking the Forms section to verify my certification was received, or that payments sometimes appear in your bank account before updating on the EDD website. It's both comforting and frustrating to see how common these delays seem to be lately with their system. Reading everyone's experiences and advice has been so helpful, especially about the 7-10 day processing window and the Claimyr service if we need to contact EDD. Thank you to everyone sharing their stories - it really helps to know we're not alone in dealing with these stressful delays, even though it doesn't make waiting for rent money any easier!
