I started maternity leave dec 17 24 and filed for SDI. My leave paperwork shows unpaid at work but someone messed up my time card and was paying me with my sick hours at 100%. This kept going until feb 2025. Even after I called employer to stop and informed EDD about it so I was getting pmy regular pay from employer with my sick hours and EDD . I already know I was going to have to pay one place back. But fast forward EDD sent me a possible overpayment notice i called my employer informing them they caused this because they were paying me even after I asked them to stop and requested unpaid leave. Now my employer gave me back all my sick hours but I have to pay them back . If I repay my employer that should cancel the overpayment with EDD right because then it will show I was entitled to the EDD payments since I had to repay my employer for their mistake.

Unfortunately, repaying your employer doesn't automatically cancel out the EDD overpayment issue. EDD and your employer operate independently, so you'll need to address both situations separately. Since your employer restored your sick hours after you repaid them, you should contact EDD directly about your specific situation. You'll need to explain that: 1. You were initially paid both sick pay and SDI benefits simultaneously 2. You've since repaid your employer 3. Your sick hours have been restored to your balance You'll likely need to provide documentation showing you've repaid your employer and that your sick hours were reinstated. The overpayment notice from EDD requires a direct response - they won't automatically know about your arrangement with your employer. When you contact EDD, request specific guidance on how to resolve the overpayment notice given that you've corrected the situation with your employer. They might require a formal appeal or specific documentation to resolve the issue on their end.
