EDD Pregnancy Disability mailed claim not showing up online - how to track?

I did this back in december with my pregnancy claim. It took like 3 WEEKS for it to show up online after I mailed everything!! So annoying. Keep checking ur online account but u probably need to wait a while. U can try calling but goooood luck with that lol

EDD typically takes 10-14 business days to process mailed claims before they appear in your SDI Online account. Once processed, you should be able to track everything online, including payment status and certification periods. Make sure you included your correct SSN on all documents and that your doctor completed all required sections of the DE 2501 form. Pregnancy disability can be filed 4 weeks before your expected delivery date and covers up to 4 weeks before and 6-8 weeks after birth (depending on delivery type).

Same thing haappened to me last yr. Mailed my form & nothng online for AGES. Got a letter in mail first then finally showed up online like 2.5 wks later. Just wait it out.

I went through this exact situation with my pregnancy disability claim in January. After waiting almost two weeks with nothing showing online, I was getting really anxious and needed to speak with someone at EDD. Regular phone attempts were completely useless - constant busy signals or disconnects after waiting forever. I finally tried using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to connect with an EDD agent and it worked within 25 minutes! They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd The agent was able to confirm they received my claim and it was just in the processing queue. Gave me peace of mind rather than stressing for weeks about whether my paperwork was lost.

Here's what you need to know about mailed pregnancy disability claims: 1. Processing time: 7-14 business days before appearing online 2. You'll typically receive a confirmation letter in the mail first 3. Once in the system, all further certifications can be handled online 4. If your claim doesn't appear after 2 weeks, call EDD at 1-800-480-3287 Also, make sure you understand the pregnancy disability timeline. You're eligible for benefits 4 weeks before your due date, then 6 weeks after vaginal delivery or 8 weeks after C-section. If you want to take additional time off, you'll need to transition to Paid Family Leave (PFL) which is a separate claim process. Keep all your claim paperwork and take screenshots of any online confirmations. If you need to call EDD, do so early in the morning (8:00-8:30am) when wait times are shortest.

My doctor's office actually messed up my form the first time and I had to resubmit - but I didn't know for WEEKS because nothing showed online and I got no communication! When I finally got through to EDD they told me there was an issue with the medical certification. Make sure you follow up somehow even if it's a pain to get through to them!!!!

BTW when it does finally show up online, you'll get an email notification too (if u have that set up). So check your spam folder too just in case.

One additional important detail: If your claim doesn't appear online after 14 business days, you should verify that your doctor's office actually submitted the DE 2501 form. Sometimes they say they'll mail it but then it gets delayed. For pregnancy claims specifically, EDD requires both parts of the form to begin processing - your portion and the medical provider certification. If you're approaching your due date and still don't see anything online, you may want to consider having your doctor complete another certification to submit directly, just to be safe. Better to have a duplicate submission than risk delays in your benefit payments.

dont forget to do the continued claim forms when they come!!! they send them every 2 weeks and if u dont send em back they stop ur payments
