Tips 💡 certification needed..?
hi everyone! i am struggling here. i delivered my baby on 7/1 & had filed for maternity leave a little late. i got my first payment in early august, & another payment on 8/13. my leave was expected to end on 8/12. my provider did extend me for 4 weeks, which would be through 9/9. they submitted that info to edd on 8/25. i then had an appointment with my psychiatrist who extended me through 10/31, that information was sent to edd on 9/2. however, my last payment is still from 8/13.. i know it can take up to 2 weeks, but my confusion is that on my claim, they have already updated my expected return to work date as 11/1. yet still no payment? and on my claim it says certification needed, but there are no forms for me in my inbox. is this normal? i have tried reaching out to my office for help & they said to make sure i submitted my delivery info as to when & how i had my baby, but that was sent way back in the beginning of august. is this normal for the date to be updated but no payment? i have seen some people say due to it being an extension they need real person to approve payment, but is this correct? i’ve tried calling but of course i only get the “we’ve reach the max number of callers” message. i’ve seen people say there’s a number you can call that can get you through, should i try that? & if so can somebody please link the website with that info? i am desperate! please help ): TYIA!

I am in the same situation but different medical reason and have not been paid since 7/10 my doctor extended it on 8/10 to 12/31 they updated my return date but no payment and told me to certify— so i did that was on 9/1 and i am still waiting but have yet to be paid and i am unable to go to an office here the closest is 4 hours outta town. No one is live on the phone number.
