EDD payment extension delay - no word on next auto-payment despite doctor's supplemental cert. What to expect?

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been in the same boat. When I had a payment extension, it took about 3 weeks for the next payment to come through. Have you tried calling the EDD? Sometimes they can give you more info.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

The EDD system is such a joke. They expect us to just wait around with no income while they take their sweet time processing everything. It's like they forget we have bills to pay 🙄

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there's updated info there before you get an official notice. Also, make sure all your certifications are up to date.

I went through something similar last year. Here's what I learned: • Payment extensions can take 2-4 weeks to process • Make sure your doctor's cert was actually received (call to confirm) • Keep certifying for benefits even if you're not getting paid • If it goes beyond 4 weeks, contact your local assembly member's office • Document everything: dates, times, who you spoke to Hang in there, OP. The system is slow, but it usually works out in the end.

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online. just a thought

This is why we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system. It's not built to handle real-world situations. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to.
