EDD or Workers' Comp? Confused about work-related disability payments and 'state disability offset' on paystub

I found a way to solve disability benefits payment confusion, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orxvcy8xdBc

Sounds like you might be dealing with workers' comp rather than state disability. If your disability is work-related, that's usually handled through your employer's workers' comp insurance, not EDD. The 'state disability offset' on your pay stub could be related to this. I'd suggest reaching out to your HR department ASAP to clarify what's going on with your claim.

ugh, the system is so confusing! 🤯 I've been dealing with something similar and it's like nobody knows what's going on. EDD says talk to your employer, employer says talk to EDD... it's a never-ending loop!

Here's what you need to know about work-related disabilities and benefits: • If your disability is work-related, it typically falls under workers' compensation, not state disability insurance (SDI). • Workers' comp is handled through your employer's insurance, not EDD. • The 'state disability offset' on your paystub might be related to your employer's disability insurance policy. • You should contact your HR department immediately to clarify your situation. • Ask about the status of your workers' comp claim if one has been filed. • If a workers' comp claim hasn't been filed, ask if you should file one. • Inquire about any short-term or long-term disability benefits your company offers. • If your employer insists it's an EDD matter, get that in writing and then contact EDD again. • Consider consulting with a workers' comp attorney if things remain unclear. Remember, the key is to be persistent and document everything. Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek clarification. Your financial wellbeing is important!

I found a method to get someone on the phone at EDD. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

have you tried reaching out to your state representative? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape and get answers faster.

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out it was a mix-up between workers' comp and state disability. He had to get a lawyer involved to sort it all out. Hopefully your case is simpler, but don't be afraid to seek legal help if things get messy!

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up. Good luck, you're gonna need it!
