EDD: Agent went silent after hour-long wait to add wages (W2 & paystubs sent). Anyone else?

I've been trying to add wages to my claim. I sent in my W2 and paystubs, but when I finally got through to someone after waiting for an hour, they just went silent after saying they got my info. Has anyone else experienced this? It's so frustrating!

Anyone else feel like we're all just stuck in some kind of unemployment limbo? It's like a bad dream that never ends 😴💤

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard some people have had success getting help that way.

I did! My state senator's office was actually super helpful. Took about 2 weeks, but they got things moving for me.

Really? Might have to give that a shot. Lord knows nothing else is working 🤷‍♂️

SDI nightmare: 1+ month, no benefits, broke & desperate. How to actually reach someone?!

I'm at my wits end with SDI. I got hurt on the job and filed for disability benefits over a month ago. The whole process has been a nightmare. First, my doctor's office lost my paperwork, so I had to redo everything. Then I got letters saying I missed signatures, but I'm sure I signed everything. I've tried calling, going online, everything I can think of, but I'm getting nowhere. It's been over a month with no income. I'm broke, can't buy food, and had to go back to work early even though I'm not fully healed. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to actually get through to someone at SDI?

Have you checked if your claim is flagged for any reason? Sometimes there's a hold on claims that isn't communicated well. You might need to provide additional documentation.

How would I check for that? Is it something I can see online?

You'd probably need to talk to someone directly. Try calling right when they open or use that calling service someone mentioned above. Ask specifically if there are any flags or holds on your claim.

SDI Overpayment Waiver Follow-Up: Can't Reach Department - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted an application for an overpayment waiver for my SDI benefits, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm trying to follow up on it, but I can't seem to find the right number to call. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the overpayment department? I've been searching online, but no luck so far. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter team is surprisingly helpful.

Ayuda con fechas de pago EDD y elegibilidad para permiso familiar remunerado

Hola a todos, necesito ayuda con mi solicitud de EDD. Quiero saber hasta qué fecha me van a pagar y cuándo puedo calificar para el permiso familiar remunerado. La última carta que recibí fue sobre mi último pago, pero no estoy seguro de qué significa eso para mis pagos futuros o mi elegibilidad. ¿Alguien ha pasado por esto recientemente?

Ojo con las fechas límite! Me pasó que perdí beneficios por no renovar a tiempo. Asegúrate de estar al pendiente de todas las notificaciones y fechas importantes.

0 coins

Gracias por el aviso! Definitivamente estaré más atento a eso. ¿Hay alguna manera de configurar recordatorios o algo así?

0 coins

Lamentablemente el EDD no tiene un sistema de recordatorios automáticos (al menos que yo sepa). Yo uso el calendario de mi celular y pongo alertas para cada fecha importante.

Ya intentaste revisar tu cuenta en línea del EDD? A veces ahí aparece info que no te mandan por correo. También puedes ver el historial de pagos y eso te puede dar una idea de hasta cuándo te van a seguir pagando.

SDI payment delayed 30+ days, can't reach anyone. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my disability payments. I filed my claim about a month ago and still haven't received any money. I've been trying to get through to SDI to find out when my next payment will be processed, but I keep getting redirected to EDD instead. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to actually reach SDI and get some answers about my delayed payments?

guys. i literaly just got of the phone with SDI after 3 HOURS on hold. apparently theres a glitch in there system thats causing payment delays for a bunch of people. they said theyre working on it but no ETA for a fix. just FYI

Thanks for the update! At least now we know what's going on. Did they say if we need to do anything on our end?

0 coins

nah they just said to keep checking our online accounts and be patient 🙃 super helpful rite?

0 coins

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul tbh

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose

Totally agree. We should start a petition or something. This is getting out of hand.
