EDD SDI payment schedule after winning appeal - confused about remaining payments

Congrats on winning your appeal! EDD generally processes payments every two weeks, but the exact day can vary. Your first payment was the retroactive amount covering from your disability start date until now. Going forward, you should receive payments approximately every two weeks until your claim end date. The UI Online calendar sometimes shows the scheduled payment dates - have you checked there?

they dont have set days really it kinda just happens. my payments were always random days sometimes monday sometimes wednesday. but always every 2 weeks after i certified

The payment schedule for EDD SDI can be frustrating to predict. After your initial lump sum payment (which covers all the back pay from when you first filed), you should be on a bi-weekly payment schedule. However, there's an important detail to understand - with SDI, you don't have to certify like with unemployment. The system automatically processes payments every two weeks until your end date (August 7th in your case). Keep in mind that the payment processing date doesn't always mean deposit date. It typically takes 1-2 business days for the money to hit your account after processing. Also, they calculate based on your disability period, not calendar weeks, so your payment dates might not fall on the same days each time. Hope this helps!

Ugh EDD is the WORST with communication!! I won my appeal last year and then they randomly stopped payments for 3 weeks with NO EXPLANATION and I couldn't pay my bills. When I finally got through they said it was a "system flag" whatever that means. Their payment system is a joke. Good luck!!

When I was on disability last year after my surgery, I had similar confusion about payment dates. If your claim ends August 7th, you should get one more full payment and one partial payment (for the remaining few days). EDD typically processes disability payments on the following schedule: - First payment comes after your claim is approved (your lump sum) - Subsequent payments come every 14 days after that - Final payment comes after your claim end date Since you just got your lump sum payment on Monday, expect your next regular payment around August 1st, then your final partial payment shortly after August 7th. The actual deposit might take 1-2 days after processing.

I had the EXACT same situation last month! Won my appeal after 3 months of fighting with EDD. The way it worked for me: got the big lump sum payment first, then exactly 2 weeks later got my next payment, then 2 weeks after that got another, then a small final payment for the last few days. The payment dates were May 12, May 26, June 9, and June 15 (my claim ended June 12). If you're worried about timing for bills, I highly recommend using Claimyr to get through to an EDD agent who can tell you the exact payment schedule. I wasted days trying to call before finding them at claimyr.com - they got me through to an agent in under 30 minutes who confirmed my exact payment dates. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd

One more important thing about EDD SDI payments: if you received your lump sum payment via EDD debit card, your future payments will go to the same card unless you set up direct deposit. Many people miss this and keep checking their bank account when the money is actually on the card. You can check your EDD debit card balance online through Bank of America's prepaid card portal.

my cousin got denied twice appealed and won and they still messed up her payments lol edd is so bad honestly just expect random deposits and be happy when they show up

Just to clarify something important about SDI payments - unlike unemployment benefits, disability benefits are calculated based on your daily benefit amount. If your disability period ends mid-week (like August 7th), your final payment will be prorated for those days only. For example, if your weekly benefit amount is $700 (about $100 per day), and your claim ends on a Wednesday, your final payment would be about $300 for those three days. Make sure you budget accordingly for that final partial payment.

Congratulations on winning your appeal! That's such a huge relief after dealing with EDD's bureaucracy. Based on my experience and what I've seen others go through, here's what you can typically expect: Your payment schedule should be every 14 days from when you received that lump sum payment. So if you got paid Monday, your next payment would likely be around two weeks from then. Since your claim ends August 7th, you should receive 2-3 more payments depending on exactly when your disability period started. One thing to keep in mind - EDD processes payments on business days, so if your 14-day cycle falls on a weekend or holiday, it might be delayed by a day or two. Also, make sure to keep checking both your bank account AND your EDD debit card (if you have one) since sometimes payments go to whichever method was used for the lump sum. The lack of clear payment schedules on their website is frustrating, but the bi-weekly pattern is pretty consistent once you're in the system. If you're really concerned about timing for bills, you might want to call EDD directly to confirm your specific payment dates - though I know their phone lines can be a nightmare to get through. Hope this helps ease some of your stress about budgeting the remaining payments!

Hey Andre, congrats on winning your appeal! That's such a huge victory after all that stress. I went through something similar last year and can share what worked for me. After my lump sum payment, I got into a pretty reliable bi-weekly pattern - usually within 1-2 days of the expected date. Since your claim ends August 7th and you just got paid Monday, you should expect your next payment around August 4th-5th (give or take a day), which would be perfect timing for your August 1st rent! Then you'd get a final prorated payment for the remaining few days after August 7th. One tip that really helped me: set up notifications through your bank app for any deposits, and also check the EDD debit card balance regularly since sometimes payments go there instead. The uncertainty is nerve-wracking, but once you're in the system post-appeal, it does become more predictable. Hang in there!

Hey Andre, huge congratulations on winning your appeal! That's such a relief after dealing with EDD's maze of bureaucracy. From what I've experienced and seen in this community, you should be on a pretty predictable bi-weekly schedule now. Since you got your lump sum on Monday, expect your next regular payment around two weeks from then - which should work out perfectly for your August rent timing. One thing that really helped me track everything was keeping a simple calendar note of when each payment hit. EDD processes on business days, so if your 14-day cycle lands on a weekend, it might shift by a day or two. Also double-check both your bank account AND the EDD debit card since they sometimes switch between payment methods without notice. Since your claim ends August 7th, you should get at least one more full bi-weekly payment, plus a final prorated payment for those last few days. The system actually becomes pretty reliable once you're past the initial appeal chaos - it's just their communication that's terrible! You've got this!
