EDD disability payments delayed after c-section, can't submit PFL claim. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability benefits. My delivery method changed from vaginal to c-section, which extended my return-to-work date. Now my disability payments are delayed, and I'm not sure how to proceed. My last payment was about a month ago, but I'm not supposed to go back to work for another month. I think I'm still owed some money - my profile shows a remaining benefit amount. I'm also supposed to submit my Paid Family Leave claim soon, but I know I shouldn't do that until I've received all my disability payments. Any advice on how to handle this situation and get the payments I'm owed?

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a record of all your payments, dates, and communication with EDD. 2. Write a clear, concise letter explaining your situation. Include your change in delivery method, extended return-to-work date, and the discrepancy in payments. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try faxing your letter. Yes, fax. It's old school, but sometimes it works. 4. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 5. Don't submit your Paid Family Leave claim until this is resolved. You're right to wait. 6. If all else fails, consider filing an appeal. It's a process, but it can get results. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!
