Will just stop claiming work?
Thank you!

When you file for SDI, your doctor will note the start date of your disability. If your disability will be for more than 2 weeks, you can probably just stop filing for UI & then reopen your claim once your Dr. releases you.
You can also opt to file UI & answer the questions accurately (not able) starting on X date. This will trigger an interview & you can confirm with the EDD person then. You may like to do this if you became disabled in the middle of the week (like Thurs)---you could file UI for that week for Sunday thru Wed & then note that you were not able starting Thursday. You would then get paid UI for a partial week. Note, SDI has a 7 day waiting period before benefits begin.
