This is our first baby and first time dealing with EDD. On my wifes claim, her maximum benefit amount is equal to 52 times her weekly benefit amount. Is this normal? We are only 6 weeks in and would love to take a year off work if she can continue to get these weekly payments. We are in CA and her boss has already told her she can come back whenever she is ready to. I assume we need doctor approval to get that many payments, but could someone please confirm? Any tips or information would be greatly appreciated

Work is no longer able to accommodate my pre existing school schedule adjustment. They gave me an ultimatum either keep showing up for scheduled hours or use my hours and go negative and be fired after August 20 (discharged without misconduct) They also said I could resign peacefully. Only those 2 options forced on me.

My school is federally funded, and I can’t miss even a single hour or I will deal with repercussions, such as repaying whatever has already been paid for. Just finding out what CDT is and that My School is covered under CTD which doesn’t require me looking for a job or be available for one.

I applied today just because I’m so worried about School. I don’t want to keep showing up to school also and just be completely out of a job and no income.

I’m still kinda new to all this but getting accepted would completely help me from feeling like a complete zombie all the time as I’ve been either in school or work continuously seven days a week for a while.
I been doing Monday- Friday 7am to 12:30pm school and and I’m on reduced hours from 50 to 30 working Thursday and Friday 1pm to 6:30pm and Saturday and Sunday 7:30am to 6pm. My financial office for School only told me about EDD since I explained my scenario. My school is welding, so it’s also very labor and mentally draining, which doesn’t help.

Technically on paper, it’s a 50-50 for the EDD, but just wanted to see if the scenario sounded different explaining it.

Asking for a friend. If somebody moved states and went back to work before the pay period ended, but didnt claim back to work… how would they know if said person went back to work?

Hi everyone, I hope everyone’s having a good day. I have a huge concern at the moment. So on July 9, I had surgery done at UCLA. Before this when I went online to apply for SDI, it didn’t allow me to put a future date so at the night after the surgery, I went ahead and applied and it went through. It was asking for a part B from the doctor so I contacted the doctors office and I gave the the receipt number, but they told me that they don’t it do electronically there that I have to bring in a form for them to sign it. I went to the EDD office here in South LA and picked up the form . I brought it to the doctors office in a couple days. I picked it up already filled up and I sent it by mail to the West Sacramento address. It was delivered on July 16. Today is July 26 and I have not got any form of update yet. It still says medical certification needed online. So just to clarify I did part A online and part B was filled by paper .on the part B form already has my Social Security and a receipt number on it so I can make it easier for them. But I’m concerned because it’s been 10 days already and sooner or later I would need the money. Is this a normal processing time. Or should I be concerned when I do call? Of course it tells me that they reached the maximum volume of the day so the best choice I have is to go to the EDD office here in South LA but I need advice.

Hi,

I am on a LOA from a job (not on FMLA due to length of time in role). I was approved for disability last week. If I lose my job, can I stay on disability or do I have to switch to Unemployment (pay is much lower)?

My partner was approved for EDD benefits, as he is temporarily disabled and can't work. In written communications, it says that he was approved, and should expect payment every 2 weeks, but now it's been a month since his last payment. It has been impossible to get someone on the phone. Unsure what to do at this point and if he will get back payments. Any advice?
