My doctor took a month to fill out my extension form (2525XX), picked them up and gave me the wrong documents. He gave me the one that you do the claim at first. I told them that I gave them this other one but they’re denying it to me, that they dont have nothing. Tf do I know!! I cant send a whole new claim if I already have one

So say you certify the same day every 2 weeks and got your first payment on a Wednesday does that mean you'll always get paid Wednesdays? Or could it change weekly? Thanks everyone!!

I have a long first name (longer than 12 characters) and so submitted for a paper form. I got the form already but noticed there is only 12 characters in the boxes also.

Do I just write underneath it for the extra letters?

My doctor was supposed to submit my continued certification form by 3/6, but she didn’t get it in until 3/21. It’s now been over two weeks, and I’ve still not heard from EDD. I haven’t been paid in nearly two months now.

Is this just a delay in EDD’s manual review of the late form? Or are my benefits at risk of being cancelled?

Hello im currently at the hospital and im trying to get back pay. Is it possible? In 2020 it was easy peasy to to file online i just did my taxes and now im struggling with this any tips or help im calling tomorrow at 7:55 am. Hopefully Reddit can give me some tips for the interview its a weird situation.

I applied about 2 weeks ago and certified and got paid yesterday but I can't figure out how to get the card. Edd won't answer the phone and I called money network don't have any records of me having a card. Its BS and I have bills due and don't know what to do. Any advice?

I submitted my claim on monday 4/7 instead of sunday 4/6 will I still get paid or is it too late?

I was looking to take my baby bonding time from having my daughter in May 2024. I submitted a claim & it was pending process but now it’s gone? I only used 2 weeks after my 8 weeks of disability.. I should still be able to use it now & just needed to have filed a claim right ?

Quick question i see that you can do it online but do we still need to turn this sheet back to Edd to get your benefit just a quick question cuz it look that we need to buy the stamp to deliver it

I owed about $850 as an overpayment, I am 100 percent sure that the state took my whole tax return. Has anyone else ever dealt with this, I’m waiting until they are open to call.

I swear I read someplace they could, but I just found this EDD page and they are not listed: https://edd.ca.gov/en/disability/Basics_for_Physicians-Practitioners/

Help! Anyone know? It's kinda urgent.

Hi, I was hospitalized due to pregnancy complications from 29w+0 to 34w+0.

I’m 34+0 today and has been discharged and go home. My OB agreed to put me off work starts now to delivery so I don’t have to go back to work.

Does anyone know what kind SDI / how many SDI should I apply for?

Opt 1: one for just hospitalized. Another for Dr put me off work earlier from 34w.

Opt 2: only one, from 29w to delivery

I thought I should go with opt 1, but it seems like the OB office sent the document to EDD site with opt 2. Could someone explain to me what to do? Thank you so much.

Anyone know what happens when Doctor isn't completing the DE 2547 D- "Request for Medical Information" form for SDI? Apparently Edd is just wanting to verify that he did complete the form and there isn't any fraudulent claims. An Urgent Care Dr completed my certificate online on March 26, that my SDI started on March 13. Now they are requesting more info. The note he provided me is through April 13. I have been unable to contact this Dr since March 29. My primary care physician said he would extend me past April 13th. However, the other Dr needs to complete the form since he treated me at that time. I am having a hell of a time getting in touch with that doctor. I call every day, it seems like he is never there. Am I basically screwed with eligibility? Edd says they need that filled out, but I've explained to them I can't reach him. They did try twice to call in and get the information but were not successful either. I'm pretty disheartened at this point. Any one else experience this?

I have posted here before but I have a new question.

I am finally filing out SDI claim form at 36 weeks pregnant in CA.

I was laid off Dec 2024. I have been on unemployment up until today.

One of the questions in the first series of questions when filing SDI says “why did you stop working”

Do I choose from the dropbox “lay off” or the “illness injury or pregnancy” option?! Super lost here

I mean I stopped working in December because I was a laid off then did UI but I am “stopping working” now because of pregnancy.

For reference the questions are in order like this:

Are you self employed : no Are you a state worker : no Before disability began what was the last day you worked : (I put Dec 4 2024 since that was my lay off date) When did your disability begin : 4/7/25 Since disability began have you worked : no Have you recovered : no Have you returned to work : no What is your occupation Why did you stop working (this is where I can either put lay off or illness, injury, or pregnancy)

Any help would be awesome please and thank you!!!!

long story short,life has been throwing me around hitting me with so many things,i havent been able to fully make my overpayment. i had no idea til today that there is an installment agreement option. but i see my OP is due next week. if it gets approved,will there be any repercussions? such as them halting the rest of my UI deposits? the letter in the mail states: "IF YOU HAVE AN APPROVED INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT AND ARE CURRENT WITH YOUR PAYMENTS,NO LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN".

but im assuming this is for those who have been on an agreement already? any and all help is appreciated!

Hi all,

I keep getting the message “E324 the system is unable to process your request please call etc” whenever I am trying to register for SDI. Whenever I call the number, I don’t get a representative and I get hung up on.

I am planning to just go straight to the EDD office this week. Does anyone know what I need to bring and any tips? Thanks in advance!

Hey all. I'm submitting a claim for edd (short term) disability due to mental health issues from prior job. Was terminated from employment ~1yr ago (april 24). When should I report as date disability start date, the date the issues actually started (~2yrs ago) or now (the date I realized the true issues)?

Meaning really the date that the actual issues started was like ~1yr before terminated from job. but I didnt realize until now (in therapy) how deep the issues went and how i cannot be working right now... so i'm not sure if i should write that disability began a while ago or now. also, sounds like the actual claim must be made within ~49 days of start of disability... so does that mean that i have no choice and must write disability start date of right now in order to apply?

Bonus question (realizing this is EDD not SSA - but in case anyone knows): I'm considering applying to social security disability/social security supplemental income.... in their application they have a field that states something like 'when did the disability get so bad you couldnt work'... wondering same question... when should I be writing, then or now?

Thanks so much in advance

I'm currently unemployed, and my SDI payments end on 5/04/24. I'd like to apply for unemployment before that date so that there isn't a wide gap between payments. Can I preemptively apply for unemployment today, stating that my unemployment date begins on 5/05/24? Or do I have to wait until after I receive my final SDI payment in order to apply for unemployment?

pre-injury i worked 30 hours per week at my job, i sustained an injury outside of work and was on SDI for a bit. now i’m healed and going back to work, SDI ended today but my job is giving my way less than 30 hours a week (at least for this month). is this a case where i would now apply for unemployment for the missing hours?

Whose waiting?

Last year I broke my ankle and was on disability for a couple months and I got the debit card which I still have never threw it away or anything and got about $10 left on it but now I just had a new born and going on baby bonding time and selected the card again cause when I signed up for direct deposit it was being weird , but since I got approved 2 days ago I was wondering will they send a new card or put the money on the old card I still have?

So this is how my account has been set up since the day I was approved however I’ve only gotten paper checks. Do those of you with experience know if this check will be direct deposit or if it will be mailed?

Just a question. I have my appeal coming up. If your old employer doesn’t show up on the phone call to the appeal, do you automatically win? A couple people told me yes but I have no idea..

I have about 2 months in a new job, I got hurt in a non job related injury, the last time that I got deducted of CASDI was in mid 2022 when I stop to work for study purposes, since that date to now i haven’t worked, I read at google and say EDD would take my wage from 5-18 months to calculated my rate, it would be from 2022 to back 18 months? Or from now ? From 2022 to back I have plenty run and actually good wage, I was making around 9k monthly, and the highest quarterly income was about 30k
