EDD Disability Payment Delays After Extensions - What Can I Do?

Ugh, I feel your pain! The disability system can be such a nightmare sometimes. Have you tried calling them directly? That's usually the best way to get answers, even though it can be a hassle.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documents, including proof of the extensions submitted on 4/3 and 4/21. 2. Call EDD and ask them to verify if both extensions have been processed. 3. Find out if there's anything else they need from you to release the payments. 4. Get an estimated timeframe for your next payment. 5. If they can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor. 6. Keep a record of all your calls and who you spoke with. 7. If you still don't get anywhere, consider contacting your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Good luck! The system is a mess rn, but don't give up!

have you checked your online account? sometimes they update info there before sending payments

I'm in the same boat, fam. Been waiting on payments for 2 months now. This system is straight up BROKEN. 🤡

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation when your doctor submitted those extensions? Might be worth double-checking with your doc to make sure they went through on their end.

Hate to say it, but you might be in for a long wait. I had a similar situation last year and it took them almost 3 months to sort it out. Keep pushing tho!
