EDD review required on claim - interview scheduled but conditional payment promised

ya this is pretty common with EDD. they send stuff to wrong addres then blame u. conditional paymnt just means u get paid but if they decide later u dont qualify they make u pay it back. i had same thing happen

This happened to me back in December. The interview is just to verify your information and make sure you qualify for SDI. Make sure you have all your documents ready - they'll want to confirm your identity and possibly your medical information. The conditional payment should come through as scheduled, but be prepared to potentially pay it back if they determine you aren't eligible after the interview. In my case, everything worked out fine after I updated my address and explained the situation.

EDD's system is SO frustrating!! They sent my letter to my old address even though I updated it online TWICE. Then put my claim on hold because THEY messed up. I waited 6 weeks with no payment because of their error. Make sure you call them before your interview to confirm they have your correct address on file.

I'd recommend updating your address in both places - on your SDI Online account AND on your Benefit Programs Online account. They don't always sync automatically. For your interview, have these ready: 1) Photo ID, 2) Proof of your current address, 3) Your claim number, 4) Contact info for your medical provider, and 5) Last day worked information. The conditional payment should process as they promised, but it's not guaranteed. In most cases, they release the payment while they continue to investigate your eligibility. Just be aware that if they later determine you weren't eligible, you'll need to repay it.

Try using Claimyr to reach EDD directly (claimyr.com). I was in a similar situation with a returned mail problem and spent days trying to get through to EDD. Claimyr connected me with an agent in about 20 minutes. Saved me weeks of waiting. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd. Worth checking out if you need to talk to someone before your interview date.

This EXACT thing happened to me!!! The letter was returned because they spelled my street name wrong even though I entered it correctly when I applied! When I finally got through to someone, they said the interview is just a formality in most cases. The conditional payment came through for me 3 days after they said it would (typical EDD lol). Just make sure you pick up when they call for the interview - if you miss it, it can delay things even more. Good luck!!!!

The whole system is designed to make you give up and not get benefits... I went through something similar and my conditional payment took 17 days to arrive instead of the 7 they promised. Then they asked for more medical documentation even though my doctor had already submitted everything. Total nightmare.

Quick update on the conditional payment - they typically process on the date promised, but it can take 2-3 banking days to actually appear in your account or on your EDD debit card. So don't panic if it's not there immediately on the processing date they gave you. Also, be sure to keep certifying for your benefits as normal during this review period. Sometimes people stop certifying because they think the review puts everything on hold, but you need to keep submitting those certifications.

I went through this exact situation last month! The "review required" notice is scary but it's usually just a standard verification process when there's a mailing issue. A few things that helped me: 1) Screenshot everything in your SDI Online account right now - dates, amounts, notices, everything. 2) When you get the interview call, they'll likely just verify your identity and ask about your address change. Have your ID and proof of current address ready. 3) My conditional payment came exactly when they said it would, but like others mentioned, give it 2-3 business days to actually hit your account. The interview was honestly pretty straightforward - they just wanted to confirm I was who I said I was and that I lived where I said I lived. Don't stress too much, this seems to be a common hiccup in their system!
