Missing SDI payments after transitioning to PFL - how to get my 5 remaining days paid?

same thing happpened to me in january. you have to call and tell them about the gap. they need to manually adjust it or something.

This is actually a common transition issue between SDI and PFL. What happened is that your SDI claim was automatically closed when your PFL claim was established, but the system doesn't always process those final days correctly. You need to contact EDD to have them manually adjust your SDI claim to include those missing days. Make sure you have your claim numbers for both SDI and PFL ready, as well as the exact dates in question. The representative will need to create what's called a "gap payment" to cover those 5 days. They should be able to verify the dates in their system and see that you're missing those payments.

I had something kinda similar when I went from PFL back to SDI last year. It took FOREVR to get it fixed. The first rep I talked to made it worse somehow and then I had to call back 3 more times. So frustrating!!

I've handled this exact situation before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the EDD SDI customer service number (not the general EDD number) 2. Request to speak with a claim specialist who handles transition issues between SDI and PFL 3. Specifically use the term "gap payment" as the previous commenter mentioned 4. Have your Notice of Computation handy if you received one, along with both claim numbers 5. Ask them to verify the end date of your SDI claim and start date of your PFL claim to prove there's a gap They should be able to process an adjustment payment for those missing days. It will typically be processed within 7-10 business days after approval.

I tried calling EDD about 15 times last week for a similar issue (mine was with certification dates though, not SDI/PFL gap). I couldn't get through AT ALL until I used Claimyr. It got me connected to an agent in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying on my own for days. Worth checking out their site claimyr.com - they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd The agent I spoke with fixed my issue in about 10 minutes once I actually got through to someone who knew what they were doing.

dont forget to ask for retro payment too. they should back pay you from when the days were supposed to be paid

One other important thing: when you do get through to EDD, make sure they don't accidentally create a new claim instead of just fixing the gap. I've seen cases where the representative created a whole new short claim instead of just processing the missing days from the original claim, and this created even more complications. Be very clear that you're asking for the missing days from your existing SDI claim that ended on March 10th (the day before your PFL began).

did u check ur SDI online account payment history? sometimes it shows pending payments that haven't been issued yet. mine showed pending for like a week before i got paid

Make sure you're looking at the right benefit type too. I almost missed a payment because I was looking at my SDI history when the payment had been incorrectly processed under my PFL claim even though the dates were from my disability period. The EDD systems don't communicate with each other as well as they should.

Just wanted to follow up - were you able to get this resolved? I'm curious if any of the suggestions worked for you.
