EDD Extension Approved - How Long Until Payment After Submitting Doctor's Certificate?
Hey everyone, I just got an extension approved and received the supplementary certificate from my doctor. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get paid after this? The last person I talked to was really rude, so I'm hoping to avoid calling again if possible. Just wanna get this sorted so I can finally get paid!

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.

AuthorThanks for the info! Are you sure I don't need to call them to follow up? I'm worried about messing something up š¬

It's always a good idea to confirm directly with EDD if you're unsure. Better safe than sorry, right? Maybe give them a call just to make sure everything's in order.

Agreed. EDD can be unpredictable sometimes. A quick call might save you headaches later on.

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?

AuthorI've been checking like crazy, but nothing new yet. It's so stressful not knowing when the money will come through.

I know that feeling all too well. Keep checking, and don't be afraid to reach out to them if it goes past the 10-day mark. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that. šŖ

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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

I was skeptical at first too, but it really worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

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!

Quick question - does the 7-10 day countdown start from when they receive the certificate or when the extension is approved?

Good question! Generally, it starts from when they receive all necessary documents. So in this case, it would be from when they received the supplementary certificate. But always best to confirm with EDD directly if you're unsure.

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!
