Quick question about transitioning between two different SDI claims (back injury to a surgery)
Hey everyone, I have a specific question about how the EDD handles overlapping or transitioning disability claims for two completely separate health issues.
Right now, I am on SDI for a back injury, and my doctor currently has me signed off work until September 3rd.However, I have a surgery already scheduled for a completely separate body part on September 2nd.
If my back fully heals and I actually return to work for a few days before September 1st, what happens next? Do I have to file a completely brand new SDI claim for the September 2nd surgery, or does it somehow continue or transition from my current back injury claim?
I am trying to figure out if going back to work for that short window will mess up my timeline or force me to serve another 7-day waiting period for the surgery. Has anyone gone through something similar? Thanks for any insight.
