For eight days of disability that you mention at 2:34, does this only pertain to working days? For example if one works a particular job two days a week, then eight days of disability would be over the span of a month? Thank You...
Hi question. I served the waiting period for 7 days and got first payment in week 2 .. so does SDI pay weekly? For up to my first month? Or do I need to file an extension every week?
I was on disability for a back problem . I went back to work for 1month. It says online that since it was under 60 days and same back injury that I don’t have to refile. My Dr already sent the paperwork electronically to EDD. EDD received it. But is there anything that I have to do on my end? With EDD? Because no where on EDD’s website does it explain? And I spent 5hrs trying to call them. And if my union doesn’t get my disability paperwork from disability I can lose my job I have had for 29years.
Hi, I’m so new to this disability insurance. My check stub gets deducted a small portion as “SDI employee withheld” is that the deduction towards SDI insurance?
I recently was denied paid family leave because I was told I had zero wages paid into SDI. I didn't know that was possible or that they were connected. I work for the state of ca I am surprised by the fact that I wasn't informed by the personnel office. Now I am stuck using my own time to bond. Doesn't seem right at all.
Is it possible to claim SDI if I choose to give birth outside the US? What’s the process for doing so? Can my doctor in California still provide the certification?
Hi Mathew, I have a question. Can you receive SDI and retirement benefits (Full retirement age reached) at the same time? Can you qualify in that kind of situation. Note: Workers' compensation 2 year period ended last month
Good morning sir. Just got approved for California State Disability. Im not protected by FMLA or CFRA. Ive only been working there for a little under 3 months. If im laid off due to not being able to perform my duties, am I eligible for medical or medicaid? We are given the choice for COBRA insurance but it's expenisve.
Sustained a lower back injury on the job and the employer had no worker’s compensation or insurance coverage at the time of the incident, if I apply for DI who covers the benefits since the employer doesn’t pay “covered employment”?
Thank you! The point of the DE 2503 form is to give the employer a chance to dispute any information you submitted to the EDD. So, if the employer doesn't respond, I believe the EDD will just assume what you told them is correct and continue processing your claim.
@@matthewjunker Thanks for your response! I applied SDI claim more than three weeks ago, and I haven't received any letter from EDD. It takes longer than normal processing time(14 days). I'm wondering the longer processing time is normal or not in this Covid-19 period.
I have a question so my 14 days is up and it shows what I’m expect to receive but an activity where it shows like payments and stuff it shows seven days which I know I don’t get paid and then the other side it shows determination what does that mean
They count as a disability if they prevent you from doing your normal job for at least eight days. So, it sounds like the answer is yes. You can talk to your doctor if you're not sure what your limitations will be after the surgery.
@@matthewjunker I’ve on been medical leave Since July for majority of time, tried going back to work but it’s to physical for me even with a a accommodation, I just applied for disability through edd but I don’t know if they will approve me since I just started working in November of last year when I was 18 or so
Morning, it's been over 14 days and I haven't received my determination for SSDI benefits is that normal? I've got the copy tatian but not the determination.
I missed the 49 day deadline due to medical condition vision issues and medical provider issues. Can I still apply, my application has been on file for over 49 days while getting certificate from physician.
Thanks for the great info! I have 2 questions for you- First one--I had an injury outside the work place. My employer asked me to file the claim with the EDD California even though i had short term disability insurance through my work. Is this something normal? And Second one is--i just received the denied letter because i was not able to file the claim within 49 days. I was injured outside the country while visiting the family and i was treated outside the country. When i came to California after the treatment of injury it was already more than 49 days. Do you think i have good reason for appeal? Thank you!!
It sounds like the employer has a Voluntary Plan. If that's the case, you still go through the EDD. Here is more information: edd.ca.gov/Disability/Employer_Voluntary_Plans.htm I have not faced that situation, but being out of the country sounds like a good reason for missing the deadline. Good luck!
so I am struggling I got fired because my attendance wasn’t stellar over the last 20 years. So I have over a a 50% or more percentage of hearing loss… basically 65 decibal range puts me in the range 40-60 moderate to severe and above that you are almost legally deaf. I have an audiologist since 2015 however she cat sign disability papers. So I go see urgent care great to meet pcp. I think going to pcp with copies of tests, files and more should be enough from audiologist from 2015 but no so what else can I do ? fishould have been enough . Pcp says specialist has to sign specialist says pcp
Hello, great video. I need your help, my wife didn’t apply for sdi benefits while she was pregnant because we simply didn’t know about it. However, after our daughter was born, we learned about PFL and we applied for it but when we applied for PFL they told us we needed to apply for SDI first even when our daughter was already born. After applying for SDI we are being rejected because we didn’t apply when my wife was pregnant, so how can my wife get her PFL benefits if they want us to apply for SDI before applying for PFL but SDI keeps rejecting us?? Help please
How is the SDI calculation work? My company said they cover 10% and edd cover 60%. I thought sdi is something we contributed in our paystub. How is that 10% work provided by the company? Thanks,
My SDI login won’t let me it says Something went wrong in our system try again later and every time I try it still says the same something went wrong with our system try again later what can I do
Hi, thanks for this video! It was really helpful. I was given the physical form of Part A and B. But I have a question, can I fill out part A (my information) online, and then fill out Part B (practitioners part) by hand and send it by mail? Thank you!
Yes you can. When using the online file option you should see a prompt that allows you to authorize provider access to your case. Be sure that you talk to your provider to find out exactly how this prompt should be completed. At our hospital, patients must authorize "AMCA" or "Highland Hospital" not the doctor by name. Once complete you will get a receipt number. Make note incase you or your doctor have trouble.
This video is very informative! Thank you :) If my employer doesn't respond to EDD form DE 2503, how will EDD know how much money I've made? Will they inform me to provide income verification?
Greetings I plan on getting a surgery that involves my leg broken. I don’t have workers compensation. Should I apply before or after surgery? Your response is appreciated Kind regards
California does not tax SDI benefits. The federal government usually does not either, but there is one exception. If you are receiving unemployment, then become ill or injured and start receiving SDI instead, your SDI is considered a substitute for unemployment benefits. This is the one situation where SDI is taxable by the federal government (but not California). If this situation applies to you and your benefits are taxable, you will usually receive a notice with your first payment and a Form 1099G for your federal tax return.
Thank you… Question… I’m having knee surgery, not work related. I have Short term disability insurance coverage from work. Can I receive both SSDI and my Short term DI from work?
The answer was no. You have to choose one. If you apply for both, you will find yourself with both cutting you off when they find out you are double dipping. And end up getting charged for what ever they gave you until you straighten out the mess. So choose wisely. I get more from my works temporarily disability insurance so that’s what I get. And I have no issues. Hope that helps.
I’m pregnant and need to go on disability leave. I know fmla requires that you’ve been at your job for 1250 hrs. I’ve been at my job for only 5 months. I switched jobs 5 months ago but have been working full time for years. Does DI require the 1250 hours at the same employer as well?
@@shannonjensen9754 Usually no because the disability prevents the person from being able to do their job. So, it's common for people to stop reporting to work while they wait for their SDI claim to be approved. But if you are worried your claim will be denied and want to keep your job if your claim is denied, it makes sense to keep reporting to work until your claim is approved.
What happens to your claim if your doctor either doesn't fill out the medical form or provide a work status report? My doctor doesn't seem like she's going to.
If you visit another doctor and Is waiting for a appointment and while you are waiting to see that doctor how can you get paid for that time u are waiting I got a letter of determination and was denied because they say I was not under a doctor's care
Hi, Can u plz help me. i m uber drive with 1099 so can i eligible for this leave or any i really need that. Next week we will have baby. please help me.
Hi. congrats on the baby. your question is confusing. because SSI/SSDI is not a leave program it is for disabled people. If you have questions regarding if you qualify for disability benefits call your local social security office. if you have questions regarding FMLA, call your local EDD office. Best of luck to you.
I don't qualify for FMLA or CFRA because I haven't work with my employee for 12 months. However, they do offer a private Short Term Disability option through a private company, my question is... Can I use both the STD and the CA SDI combined?
I have a question I was on long term unemployment because of because of coronavirus. the last day I worked my job was 4/15/20 .....I was on unemployment til 9/7/21 (last paycheck from U.I was on 9-13-21) So SDI sent me email called "Request for additional labor market information" D.I Rep. On phone said I had to fill out before they release 1st payment... But it's confusing to me I don't wanna put the wrong thing. it says " Have you recently been looking for work? yes or no? If no please explain why... Well my doctor says I can't go back to work till at least January January of next year So no I have not been looking for work recently (last day I looked for work was 9-12 -21/9-13-21, but I was on ununemployment ... should I put yes or no? And it did not show any of my wages from unemployment I've worked for 15 years 5 to 6 days a week minimum 10 hour days I have so much wages built up it's stupid but they only counted one month so my equis though my equipment fit amount is 167 instead of like 700 a week Yeah can they count my unemployment wages because it was coronavirus problem or can they do a special base period for me? I don't want to have paid into SDI for 15 years and made a lot of income just to be screwed and only have one month counted in my base. I don't want to have paid into SDI for 15 years and made a lot of income just to be screwed and only have one month counted in my base period... Plz help answer if possible 🙏
Sorry, this is a tough situation. Unemployment insurance is not counted for the base period. I can't give you specific advice on what to do, but, in general, it's important to be honest because if a claimant is not honest and receives benefits they are not eligible for, the EDD can collect the overpayments with a 30% penalty.
@@matthewjunker . I'm just wondering is there any way I can get an alternate base. Since I have worked a lot of years in a row and made a lot of income I would hate for that to not reflect on the one time in my life I'm gonna use this probably right now they're only counting 1 month's worth of income from my last job cuz I was on Unemployment for like 16.5 months.. For 15 years prior to this I don't have a Base period Quarter that's less than 13000 and right now they're counting 1 month that I actually worked only 15 days so 3000 in my highest quarter.. I just can't fathom that I'm gonna get a $165 a week instead of like 750 a week it says to call them immediately to discuss yeah it does recalculate base. But I can't get through to them I've been calling since 2 days before even filled out my claim to talk about this exact question Can I get ahold of my local state representative like you can with unemployment insurance to help out?
