EDD hasn't paid since December despite doctor's extension - What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received any disability payments since early December, even though my doctor sent over notes to extend my disability. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my claim. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking about calling EDD to see if they need more information or if there's a hold-up somewhere. Any advice on what I should ask when I get through to them?

Have you checked if your claim is still active? Sometimes they close it without notifying you and you have to reopen it. Happened to me and I lost out on weeks of payments 😭
Oh no, that sounds awful! I'll definitely check on that. Thanks for the heads up!
Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to an EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get answers.
Do they even allow walk-ins anymore? I thought everything was appointment only now.
Some offices do limited walk-ins. Worth checking their website for your local office's policy.

Quick question - did you recently move? Sometimes address changes can cause delays. Make sure your address is up to date in the system!
I had this issue last year. Turns out my card was stolen from my mailbox. You might want to check if it was actually sent and possibly intercepted. If so, you'll need to report it to BoA and EDD asap.
Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that possibility. Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely look into this!

This whole situation is so messed up. We're already dealing with health issues, and now we gotta fight just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The system is broken, man. 😤
Preach! 🙌 It's like they want us to give up and just suffer in silence.
Fr fr. We need to organize and demand change. This isn't right.
Here's what I've learned from my experience with SDI: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke to. 3. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and submitted. 4. Check your online account regularly for updates. 5. If you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your state representative or even local media. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to SDI issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips. 7. If you can afford it, that Claimyr service others mentioned might be worth a shot. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up! It's a frustrating process, but stay strong. 💪
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try some of these strategies. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
This should be pinned at the top of the sub. Super helpful info!
