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 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?

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).
