Can I get EDD unemployment after SDI if work won't put me back on schedule?

I found a way to solve unemployment after medical leave, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUWyNT5zKJk

I've been there before! It's a tricky situation. First things first, you need to make sure you're actually eligible. Have you tried contacting your employer to see what's up with your reinstatement?

Okay, so here's the deal with unemployment after medical leave: 1. You need to be able and available to work 2. You can't be receiving any other benefits (like SDI) 3. You must have earned enough wages during your base period 4. Your unemployment must be through no fault of your own Sounds like you might qualify if your employer isn't bringing you back. Here's what you should do: - Document all communication with your employer - File your claim online at edd.ca.gov - Be honest about your situation in the application - If denied, appeal! Many people win on appeal Good luck!

lol good luck getting through to anyone at EDD. I've been trying for weeks and can't even get past the automated system 🤡

Hey, I found a method to get someone on the phone at EDD. 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/Ize0EkN4HDI

idk man, the whole system is rigged. I applied 3 months ago and still haven't seen a dime. This state is a joke 🤮

Have you considered looking for temp work while this gets sorted out? Might be a good stopgap solution.

Just a heads up, make sure you're super careful filling out the application. One tiny mistake and they'll delay everything for weeks. Ask me how I know 😭
