Anyone been in a simular situation and know when to expect a payout? Under Claim Activity, it says the claim is under a "Waiting Period".

We've tried contacting the EDD Disability line but there is virtually no way to speak to a live person. It's only an automated message telling us what we already know from our portal.

I received a letter to go see and IME three weeks after my disability has started. I have no idea what to expect. I have a knee injury from a failed knee surgery about 14 months ago, and I have a new MRI scheduled next week. and I don’t know if I will be able to get the new MRI report before my IME appointment. any tips on what to expect and if I’m screwed?

How long did it take them to resolve your issue or get back to you? I contacted mine on Monday, I followed up with them via email today and they just said we’ll be in touch when we have an update. I’m getting anxious, so many bills due and rents coming up.

Hello everyone!
Just wanting to know if I do my PFL application today or tmr? I was extended until 10/22 and my portal shows my expected return to work date is 10/23. I got paid up to 10/19. Today I submitted my certification from 10/20 - 10/22.

Am I able to do my PFL application today or is my first day for bonding not until tmr since I submitted certification today?

I called Kaiser and they stated that my doctor submitted the requested paperwork and ROMI sent it in. It’s been since 10/11 since my last payment and my claim status still says certification needed. Do I have to fill anything out as well. There’s no documentation for me to sign.

Hi everyone! I'm considering quitting my serving job soon and want to know if anyone would think I would qualify for "good cause". For the last 3 maybe 4 months one of the shift leads who is a close "personal" friend of the owner has purposefully targeted me: she locks into me and constantly critiques my work, makes me do tasks she has never makes anyone else do, and talks about me behind my back to everyone. She even said to one of my coworkers that she can't fire me, but she can try to make me quit. I messaged HR about this and had a phone call with them, and HR never got back to me. It's been about two months since the HR call. Nothing has really improved and she still is particularly mean to me, all of my coworkers see this.

But after being sick a few weeks ago and using a paid sick day, she decided to take me off the schedule from 5 days to 4 days per week. This is illegal in California. And they never applied my sick time even though I specified I wanted to.

A few days ago my boss also just yelled at me and a coworker in the kitchen and then started laughing at us, he also is quite rude to people and intimidates me when I try to push back on what he says. It's a really toxic environment. I want to leave but I'm afraid I won't be able to get unemployment, I don't make too much money as it is and I don't want to deplete my savings.

Would it be a good idea to quit and try to get unemployment?
