EDD SDI payment schedule confusion - will my next disability payment notification arrive by Tuesday?

it depends if u certificated properly. disability payments come every 2 weeks if ur claim is approved and u do the forms right but sometimes theres delays. check ur account to see if theres any forms u need to fill out

EDD typically processes SDI payments on a bi-weekly schedule, so if your first payment was on 11/30, you should expect the next one around 12/14 (assuming there are no certification issues). However, the notification emails can be inconsistent - sometimes they arrive 2-3 days before the payment, sometimes the same day, and occasionally not at all. The most reliable way to check is to log into your SDI Online account and look at the "Payment Activity" section. It will show your scheduled payments before you receive the email notification. Also, make sure that your doctor has completed any required ongoing certifications if your disability claim is for a longer period. Missing medical certifications are the most common reason for payment delays.

In my experience with SDI this year, their email notifications have been really hit or miss. I've had payments deposit without any email notification at all. The Tuesday timeline seems about right though - I usually see movement on my claim early in the week for payments that hit later that week. One thing I found incredibly helpful was using Claimyr to actually get through to an EDD agent when I was worried about payment timing. Their service helped me get through to a rep in under 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. I was able to confirm exactly when my payment would arrive. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd Really saved me when I needed to know if I could pay my bills on time!

EDD IS THE WORST!!! Their 'system' is just designed to confuse people and delay payments. I was on disability last year and NEVER got notification emails when they said I would. Sometimes payments would just randomly appear in my account with NO WARNING, other times I'd get an email saying payment was issued but then wouldn't see the money for 3-4 days!!! Don't rely on their stupid Tuesday email - it's TOTALLY unreliable!!!

When I was on SDI in 2023 for my pregnancy, I noticed they were pretty consistent with payments every two weeks, but the notification emails were super random. Sometimes I'd get them a day before the deposit, sometimes three days after! I started just marking my calendar for every other Friday (that's when mine hit) and ignoring the emails completely. Also, make sure your claim is set up for direct deposit - that speeds things up a lot compared to waiting for a physical check. And double check that your certification period is correct in the system. My friend had her payments delayed because her doc put the wrong end date on her medical certification. Hope that helps a bit with the stress! The first payment cycle is always the most nerve-wracking.

i had disability last month and my payments came every other thursday like clockwork. dont stress about email notifications theyre useless lol. as long as u certified and dr did their part ull get paid

UPDATE: Just wanted to thank everyone for the help! I checked my Payment Activity section like suggested and it shows my next payment is scheduled for this Thursday! No email notification yet, but at least now I know it's coming. Such a relief!
