EDD disability extension payment delays despite doctor submitting supplemental certification - no questionnaire appearing

same thing happnd to me in december. extnsion got approved but no payment for like 20 days. turns out they needed me to do certification even tho nothing showed up online!! try calling right when they open at 8am thats how i got thru

Extensions can be tricky with EDD SDI. The system sometimes has a lag between when they update your claim end date and when they actually process payments. Here's what you need to know: 1. The supplemental certification from your doctor establishes your ELIGIBILITY for the extension, but doesn't automatically trigger payments 2. You should have received a DE 2593S form (Supplemental Claim Certification) either by mail or in your online inbox 3. If it's been 2.5 weeks with no payment, there's definitely a processing issue Call EDD first thing Monday morning at 8:00am - that's when the wait times are shortest. Ask specifically about the status of your DE 2593S form and whether there's a certification needed from you that isn't showing in your online account.

you probably need to do a certification but their stupid system didnt send it to you!! this EXACT thing happened to me last year and i wasted 3 weeks trying to figure it out before i got thru to someone. try using claimyr.com to reach an EDD agent quickly. they got me connected in 20 mins when i couldnt get thru for DAYS on my own. they have a video demo here https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd that shows how it works. not free but worth every penny when your rent is due and EDD is holding your $$$

This is a very common issue with extension payments, and there are several possibilities for what's happening in your case: 1. System lag - Sometimes there's a disconnect between the claim end date showing in your account and the payment processing system 2. Missing certification - Even though your doctor submitted their form, there may be an additional certification required from you that isn't appearing in your online account due to a technical issue 3. Pending review - Longer extensions sometimes trigger a manual review, especially if your diagnosis or circumstances have changed 4. Payment threshold - If your extension crosses a quarter boundary (Jan-Mar to Apr-Jun), this can cause payment delays while benefit amounts recalculate The most efficient solution is to speak directly with an EDD representative. Call 1-800-480-3287 at exactly 8:00am or try again at 1:00pm when their lunch rush ends. Be prepared with your claim ID, doctor's name and certification date, and dates of your extension. Request that they check for any pending forms or certifications not visible in your online account.

My cousin works for EDD (not disability but unemployment) and she says their computer systems don't talk to each other properly. So the doctor's system shows they received the certification but the payment system might not know about it yet. Have you checked your actual physical mail? Sometimes they send forms through regular mail even when you're signed up for electronic notices. EDD is still stuck in 1995 with some of their processes lol

I had something like this happen with my pregnancy disability claim last month. Try checking if there's an "unresolved issue" on your claim that's not showing up in the online portal. For me, they needed proof of my identity for some reason AGAIN even though I'd already provided it for the initial claim. The annoying part was that nothing showed up in my account to tell me this - I only found out after finally getting through to someone on the phone.

Update: I FINALLY got through to EDD this morning! Turns out there WAS a certification form that should have been mailed to me but never was (and didn't show up in my online account either). The representative manually processed it while I was on the phone. She said payments should resume within 3-5 business days. For anyone dealing with something similar - KEEP CALLING! The rep told me there's a known issue with their system not always generating the proper notices for extensions, especially when there are multiple extensions on one claim. Such a relief to have this resolved finally!
