You must
right away if:
You return to part-time or full-time work.
You receive any wages.
Report any work and wages
—even if you were not paid yet.
Part-time Workers
Working part-time or reduced hours means you work fewer hours or days than usual, leading to a loss of wages.
If you report working part-time while receiving Disability benefits, we will send you the
Continued Claim Certification for Paid Disability Benefits
(DE 2580G).
You must complete this form to confirm the time you worked.
Your benefits may be adjusted based on hours worked.
Your benefits will stop if you don’t submit the form online or return it by mail.
Updating Your Claim
You are eligible to receive benefits until the expected recovery date provided by your physician/practitioner. If you have not fully recovered, and
you haven't exhausted your available Disability benefits, you may be able to update your claim. To access additional benefits:
Your physician/practitioner must fill out the
Physician/Practitioner’s Supplementary Certificate
(DE 2525XX) form mailed to you with your final payment and submit it online through
myEDD
(if they are registered), or send it by
mail
The form must be returned to us within 20 days of the date on the form.
If you are eligible for continued benefits, allow 10 business days for us to process your payment after we receive the form.
Request a replacement form through your
SDI Online
account or by calling 1-800-480-3287.
If you have used all your Disability benefits but your disability is ongoing, you may want to
apply for disability benefits through Social Security
Important:
If you give false or incomplete information to get disability benefits, that’s fraud. You could face serious consequences. For more information, visit
