When should I expect to receive payment from EDD

It took me 6 weeks

And that’s with direct deposit 😯??

Mine came maybe two to three weeks. Plus there's that week with no pay... keep an eye on the website

I most definitely will. I can also extend my leave right? Because it’s telling me to go back to work on 12/22 and the doctor sent in my note for 1/8 😐 And that’s barely 6 weeks post partum

Should be fine with the doctors note, you might have to open a new case for the extension. Theres the disability for 6 weeks then you file separate for the maternity leave. I believe the hospital will help walk through all that too. It's a bit foggy now.

Max that time with baby though, it's so worth it!

Oh yeah, work can wait. I need to be with my baby 🥰

@Savanna also, did they pay you the 6 weeks worth or whatever when you finally got it??

I’ve been out since July, I still haven’t received my first payment…

Direct deposit took me about three weeks after the waiting period for my first payment.

Three weeks for mine and if you have any delays you can always go in person. I went in person because they never would answer on the phone and the office in Van Nuys was so easy. They were organized and it was a quick line. I had an issue because I applied for my paid family leave first instead of Disability like I was supposed to so there was a delay. I went in person and they fixed it right away and then released the funds the next day.
