How to find out SDI payment start date and disability duration?

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

I've been there, buddy. It can be a real headache trying to get that info. Have you tried calling the disability office? They should be able to give you those details.

Check your online account if you have one. Sometimes that info is listed there. If not, you might need to bug your doctor's office for the duration they put down.

Ugh, the system is so broken. I've been waiting for months to get my payments sorted out. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🙄

Hey, 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

Here's what you need to know about disability payments and duration: • Payment start date: Usually begins on the 8th day after your disability starts. This is because there's a 7-day waiting period. • Duration: This depends on what your doctor certified. It could be a few weeks, months, or up to a year. • Where to find info: Check your award letter if you received one. It should have these details. • Online account: Log in to your state's disability portal. Often, claim details are posted there. • Contact your doctor: They can tell you how long they certified you for. • Payment schedule: Once started, payments are usually bi-weekly. Remember, every case is different. If you can't find the info, keep trying to contact the disability office. Good luck!

have u tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work better lol

I feel your pain, OP. I've been on disability for 3 months now and it's been a wild ride. Hang in there!

Hey Liam! I went through this same confusion a few months ago. Here's what worked for me: 1. If you have a claim number, you can sometimes check your status online through the EDD portal 2. Your doctor's office should have a copy of the form they submitted - they can tell you the duration they certified 3. The payment start date is typically 8 days after your disability began (there's a 7-day waiting period) 4. If you got any paperwork when you first applied, look for an "Award Notice" - it usually has all the key dates I know the phone lines are brutal, but if you can get through, they can give you exact dates. The early morning calling tip someone mentioned really does help! Don't give up - once you get the info, it makes everything so much clearer. 🤞
