EDD Extension Approved - How Long Until Payment After Submitting Doctor's Certificate?

I found a way to solve payment delay after extension approval, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuHXPCbTvsY

Congrats on getting the extension approved! In my experience, it typically takes about 7-10 business days for EDD to process and issue payments after they receive all the necessary documents. Keep an eye on your account for updates, but you should see something soon.

Ugh, I feel you on the rude customer service. It's like they forget we're actual people dealing with real problems. 🙄 Hope you get your payment soon!

I've been in the same boat, waiting for payments after an extension. It's frustrating, but hang in there! Have you checked your online account for any updates or messages?

Hey, I found a way to actually 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Keep a record of all your communications, certificates, and approvals. It'll save you a headache if theres ever a dispute about your claim.

Listen up, folks. I've been through this rodeo before, so here's the deal: • After getting your extension approved and submitting the supplementary certificate, expect a 7-10 business day wait for payment processing. • HOWEVER, this can vary depending on your specific situation and EDD's current workload. • Keep checking your online account daily for updates. • If you don't see any movement after 10 business days, it's time to make that dreaded call. • When calling, be persistent but polite. Remember, the person on the other end is just doing their job. • Have all your documents ready when you call - claim number, dates of certificates, etc. • If you're having trouble getting through, try calling right when they open or just before closing. Remember, the system is frustrating, but stay calm and keep pushing. You'll get your money eventually. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what were owed? 🤡 the whole systems a joke tbh

Has anyone else noticed that EDD seems to be processing things faster lately? Or am I just getting lucky?

Just wanted to share my recent experience - I submitted my doctor's certificate last week and got paid exactly 8 business days later! The key thing I learned is to make sure your doctor fills out EVERY section completely. My first certificate got rejected because one tiny box was left blank. Once I resubmitted with everything filled out properly, it went through smoothly. Also, if you're really anxious about the timeline, you can always call after day 10 - but honestly, if all your paperwork is correct, it should process within that 7-10 day window most people mentioned. Hang in there!

Based on my experience and what I've seen from others here, you should expect payment within that 7-10 business day window everyone's mentioning. I just went through this same process last month - submitted my supplementary certificate and got paid on day 9. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking, but try not to stress too much about calling unless you hit that 10+ day mark. Your extension is already approved which is the hard part! Keep checking your online account daily and you should see movement soon. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞

I went through this exact same situation about 2 months ago! After my extension got approved and I submitted the supplementary certificate, it took exactly 9 business days for the payment to show up in my account. The hardest part was definitely the waiting - I was checking my account like 5 times a day 😅 My advice is to resist the urge to call unless you're past the 2-week mark, because honestly the wait times are brutal and they'll just tell you the same timeline everyone here is mentioning. Just keep an eye on your online portal and try to stay busy with other things. The money will come through! Also totally feel you on the rude customer service - it's like they train them to be unhelpful sometimes.

I'm in a similar situation right now - just got my extension approved last week and submitted my doctor's certificate on Friday. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful! It sounds like 7-10 business days is pretty standard, which puts me right in that window. I'm trying not to stress about it, but it's hard when you're waiting for money you really need. The advice about documenting everything and double-checking that the doctor filled out every section completely is gold - definitely going to make sure I have all my paperwork in order. Thanks to everyone for sharing their timelines and tips! 🙏

Hey there! I just went through this exact process about 3 weeks ago, so I totally understand the anxiety of waiting! After my extension was approved and I submitted my doctor's supplementary certificate, it took exactly 8 business days for the payment to hit my account. The 7-10 day timeframe everyone's mentioning seems pretty accurate from what I've experienced and seen others go through. One thing I learned is to make sure you have your confirmation that EDD actually received the certificate - sometimes there can be delays in their system processing the documents even if you submitted them correctly. You can usually check this in your online portal under the documents section. Try not to stress too much about calling unless you're well past the 10-day mark. The phone wait times are absolutely brutal and they'll likely just give you the same timeline. Plus, since your extension is already approved, that's honestly the hardest part behind you! The payment processing is usually pretty straightforward once all the paperwork is in order. Hang in there - I know how nerve-wracking it is waiting for money you really need, but based on everyone's experiences here, you should see movement in your account very soon! 🤞

I just went through this same process last month and wanted to share my timeline to hopefully ease some of your anxiety! After my extension was approved and I submitted the supplementary certificate from my doctor, I received payment on the 7th business day. A few things that might help while you wait: • Double-check your online portal to make sure EDD shows they received your certificate • Set up account alerts if you haven't already so you get notified of any changes • Try to resist calling unless you hit the 2-week mark - the wait times are insane and they'll just confirm the same 7-10 day timeline I totally get wanting to avoid calling again after dealing with rude customer service. The good news is that since your extension is already approved, you've cleared the biggest hurdle! The payment processing is usually much more straightforward. Hang in there - based on everyone's experiences in this thread, you should definitely see your payment within the next week or so! 💪

I'm currently going through this exact same process right now! Just submitted my supplementary certificate yesterday after getting my extension approved. Reading through everyone's experiences here is incredibly helpful - it seems like the 7-10 business day timeline is pretty consistent across the board. What really stands out to me is how important it is to make sure the doctor fills out every single section completely. I'm definitely going to double-check mine to avoid any delays from missing information. Also appreciate the tip about checking the online portal to confirm EDD actually received the documents - that's something I'll be monitoring closely. It's frustrating that we have to deal with such long wait times and sometimes unhelpful customer service, but at least knowing what to expect makes it a bit more bearable. Thanks to everyone for sharing their timelines and advice! Hopefully we'll all get our payments processed smoothly. 🙏

Just wanted to chime in as someone who's been dealing with EDD disability for a while now. The 7-10 business day timeline everyone's mentioning is pretty spot on in my experience. I've gone through this process three times over the past year and each time it took between 8-10 days after submitting the supplementary certificate. One thing I'd add that I haven't seen mentioned much - make sure your bank account info is current and correct in your EDD profile. I had a delay once because my old account was still on file and it caused the payment to bounce back. Also, if you're using direct deposit, payments usually hit early morning (around 2-3 AM in my experience). Since your extension is already approved, you're really in good shape. That approval is honestly the biggest hurdle. The certificate processing is much more routine. Try not to stress too much about the timeline - I know it's easier said than done when you're waiting for money you need, but the system does work, it's just slow. Hang tight and keep checking your account! You should see movement very soon. 🙂

Just wanted to add my recent experience to help ease your worries! I literally just went through this exact same situation about 2 weeks ago - extension approved, submitted the supplementary certificate, and then the dreaded waiting game began. I got my payment on day 8, which seems pretty typical based on what everyone else is sharing here. One thing I wish someone had told me is that you can actually see when EDD processes your certificate in your online account - it'll show a status change from "pending" to "processed" usually a day or two before the actual payment hits your account. That little status update was such a relief because it meant things were moving along. Also totally feel you on wanting to avoid calling back after dealing with rude customer service! I had the same experience and was determined not to call unless absolutely necessary. Thankfully I didn't have to because everything processed within the normal timeframe. Since your extension is already approved, you're honestly in great shape. That's the hardest part behind you! The payment processing is much more straightforward. Try to stay busy and resist checking your account every few hours (easier said than done, I know 😅). You should definitely see your payment within the next week!

I just went through this exact process about 3 weeks ago and wanted to share my timeline to hopefully help! After my extension was approved and I submitted the supplementary certificate, it took exactly 9 business days for the payment to show up. A couple of tips from my experience: • Make sure you screenshot or save confirmation that EDD received your documents - you can usually find this in the "Inbox" or "Documents" section of your online portal • The waiting is honestly the worst part, but try to avoid calling unless you hit day 12-14. The phone lines are brutal and they'll just confirm the same 7-10 day timeline everyone's mentioning • Payments typically process overnight, so if you're going to see movement, it'll usually show up first thing in the morning Since your extension is already approved, you've cleared the biggest hurdle! The certificate processing is pretty routine once all your paperwork is complete. I know how stressful the waiting can be when you really need the money, but based on everyone's experiences here, you should definitely see your payment within the next week. Hang in there! 💪
