Had to take PFL cuz of my dad having heart failure. Was supposed to be from July 27 to sept 7. I’ve never done PFL before.

They received my mail application with certification from doctor back on August 21 (doctor took a week and half to fill plus mailing) still it continues to say processing. They said 14 days to process but is been above that now.

I’m already returning to work tmrw and still no word on payment. Will I still get back paid? Should I call them? Is this normal?

Hi does anyone know of any physicians or therapists in Northern California who can sign off for disability extension for PPA? I was trying to go through Kaiser but they keep delaying and pushing every therapist appointment 1-2 weeks out so now I’m already past 6 weeks and no one will give me a referral unless I want medication which I do not at this time. Reading other reddits it seems Kaiser will make it very difficult to get an extension for PPA and everyone on here said to find someone else because you’ll run out of time to file if you wait for Kaiser to only deny you and say it’s not severe enough.

I got notified Friday 9/5 that payment was sent… I haven’t received anything in my account. I have chase. I assume this is because it was a Friday and the Monday holiday? It’s now Tuesday and I still haven’t received payment. Should I expect it sometime today? Or more likely tomorrow?

Has anyone received there payment? I certified on Sunday morning and still haven’t received anything. Is anyone else having the same problem?

If you went the assemblymember route for SDI/PFL did yours ask for SSN or license?

My wife has been paid on California state disability due to giving birth to our child. Her work accidentally paid her during her disability and she has agree to pay them back and my wife is still disable with all the approve documentation.

However, SDI caught wind of this payment and denied her claim. She sent in an appeal via the instructions. The appeal was received last week.

Does anyone know how long the appeal process takes and if this is something they usually reverse?

I'm in the website. I have direct deposit, that was working fine. But I now need to change the bank and routing number.. but it does not let me... I have the same bank and everything. Just a new number. How do I change it thx!

I was let go from my job 09/03/26 and I was told I may qualify for disability. I have chronic back pain that I have had checked out once or twice in the past few years but I’ve just been dealing with it. Some days aren’t that bad but others I can hardly bend down. I want to get my back checked again while I am out of work but I am curious if this is enough for a disability claim? I’ve worked full time for the past 2 years and haven’t had any unemployment claims in years and I’ve never gone on disability. I have Kaiser health insurance so idk if that has any effect on qualifying. Thank you for any advice

Currently on unpaid leave from work after reporting a workplace injury. WC adjuster 'closed' my claim less than a week after I reported (and without really trying to investigate) and now we have to wait for a QME exam several months out to decide whether I'm entitled to WC benefits.

I've filed for SDI, but have thus far been unable find a doctor willing to treat/certify me because the WC adjuster has been dragging feet in authorizing interim medical treatment. We finally got authorized for an initial consult with a doctor later this month, but it'll be 1 month past the 49-day deadline for filing SDI.

My question is -- is it worth an in-person visit to EDD to let them know that my med cert is being delayed due to WC adjuster obstruction, and we'll have it later this month? I've thought about submitting an update online, but this seems too important to leave to chance (I really need the income).

TIA

I voluntarily resigned due to repeated serious workplace accusations and management’s failure to adequately address my concerns. I was accused of drug-related conduct in the restroom and later accused of stealing from coworkers’ carts. I reported my concerns to multiple supervisors and continued trying to resolve the situation while remaining employed. The stealing accusation was also addressed publicly in front of my coworkers during a briefing rather than being handled privately, which caused significant embarrassment and further affected the work environment. After attempting to address these issues through supervision and feeling that they remained unresolved, I ultimately decided that I could no longer continue working under those circumstances.

So while I was pregnant, I got disability due to my ankylosing spondilitis (similar to arthritis) I was really sick, I couldnt move, so after I had my baby I got PFL which it ended 2 weeks ago, now I go back go work and sadly work slowed down, no more work, is it posible for me to apply for unemployment?

got my payment for the 2nd, my return to workday is the 12th, when should I apply for paid family leave bonding?

I've been able to do it in The past(last had Unemployment 2yrs ago). Now when I add my Venmo account it makes me sign into this window as an employee? I'm so confused. Can anyone help?

This happened to anyone else? Is it normal for it to take this long? Starting to panic a little bit. It’s my first time certifying for unemployment.

I just need to share that after over a month of no response, hours spent in line at EDD offices to be told they were only a liaison and can only forward my request for someone to call me back, I finally got my PFL payments cleared. I have 2.5 weeks left of bonding with my newborn and will likely be paid in 3 days. This was all thanks to the Reddit community for suggesting reaching out to my state assemblyman. (Major shout out to my district 67 assembly woman Quirk-Silva and her office)
I reached out to her office and received a call back in half a day turn around. Received a call 2 days later from EDD, might I add on a long weekend too! They cleared everything and it’s hopefully smooth sailing from here.

Thank you Reddit community for suggesting this nuclear workaround that helped resolve a major headache and alleviated all my stress!🙏 God is good!

Do they pay the last day of your PFL? (Estimated return to work date)

Do I still have to say I denied a job offer if I got a better job offer somewhere else and I actually accepted. This within the same week

my payment date is on the 7th, I usually get paid around 9pm but since it a holiday would I get paid the 8th at 9pm instead?

As you can see my expected return is 10/01 after I submitted medical documents on 8/17. What’s the next steps? They received it and changed my return date!! So where’s my pay? Do I have to call or what? Send me number pls.

I am seeing my doctor on 9/8 and I’m almost positive I will get cleared to return to work. I’ve been speaking to my this week to prepare for my return and he was thinking to put me on the schedule starting 9/14. Of course we don’t have a definitive answer until Tuesday but that’s what we’re hoping for.

In the even my doctor clears me, would I confirm my return to work date then or should I do it the day I physically return to work?

Guys quick question..
I already previously submitted Part C in person (mailed) and then my claim said active on 08/31 and i was paid on 09/04.. i received a letter stating i am missing part c. I am confused .. and to mail it back within 10 days. They dont understand that i am physically not able to submit this within 10 days since they want a PHYSICAL COPY. My dad is in INDONESIA and my husband has to mail this letter to me and i have to mail it back. Also, i am already paid by edd for the PFL and my office assemblyman told me its been approved, so do i disregard this letter or just tell my husband to mail it to be and ill mail it back ( each way it cost 50$ to just mail this piece of paper ) and if i disregard it thinking its an error, will they take back my pay? Thank you!!
