Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes SDI emails end up there. Also, double-check the email address you provided them - a typo could explain why they're saying they never received it.
OP, any updates? Did you manage to get through to them?
Not yet, but I'm going to try calling first thing tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed! 🤞

This might sound weird, but check if your bank info is still correct in your account. My friend's payments got held up because somehow his direct deposit info got messed up.
Oh snap, I didn't even think to check that. Thanks for the tip!

Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for a job instead of relying on unemployment? 🤷♂️
Ok boomer 🙄

Just saying what everyone's thinking. Don't shoot the messenger 🤷♂️

The whole system is broken af. I've been dealing with this bs for months. Good luck getting any real help from them 🙄
Preach 🙌 Its like they want us to give up

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any messages or alerts 2. Make sure all your paperwork is up to date (medical certifications, etc) 3. If you can't find any issues, you NEED to talk to someone. Use that calling service someone mentioned above or keep trying the regular number 4. If you get through, ask for a specific reason why payments are held up and what you need to do to fix it 5. Get everything in writing if possible 6. If they say they need more info, send it certified mail so you have proof 7. Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to resolve this If none of that works, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes have staff who can help navigate these issues. Don't give up! The system sucks but you gotta keep pushing.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll start working through this list asap

Here's a comprehensive guide for navigating SDI in Spanish: 1. Online Portal: Visit the EDD website and look for the 'Español' option in the top right corner. This will translate the entire site. 2. Phone Support: Call 1-866-658-8846 for Spanish assistance. Best times to call are early morning or late afternoon. 3. Forms: Most SDI forms are available in Spanish. Request them specifically if they're not offered. 4. In-person Help: Some EDD offices have Spanish-speaking staff. Check your local office. 5. Community Resources: Look for local non-profits or legal aid societies that offer free SDI assistance in Spanish. Remember to have all your documents ready, including your Social Security number, employment history, and medical certification. Don't give up if you hit roadblocks - persistence is key with these systems. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed info! This is exactly what I needed. You're a lifesaver! 🙏

Me alegro por ti, pero honestamente, esto solo muestra lo injusto que es el sistema. Algunos tienen suerte y otros seguimos sufriendo. Necesitamos una solución real, no depender de la suerte.
Preach! 🙌 El sistema está diseñado para fallar. Necesitamos una reforma completa, no solo parches temporales.

Gracias por compartir tu experiencia positiva. Es importante recordar que no todo es negativo. Aunque el sistema tiene muchos problemas, a veces funciona. Esperemos que tu caso sea el comienzo de una mejora general.
He oído que a veces ayuda enviar una queja formal. Puede que acelere el proceso. ¿Alguien lo ha intentado?
Yo lo hice! Tardó como 2 semanas, pero finalmente revisaron mi caso y resolvieron el problema.
2M
Cómo se envía una queja formal? Necesito intentar eso tambien
2M
Chicos, se que es frustrante pero no pierdan la esperanza. Yo estuve 3 meses sin pagos y finalmente se resolvió. Sigan insistiendo!
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Me da un poco de esperanza. ¿Hiciste algo en particular para que se resolviera?
2M
La verdad, solo seguí llamando. Un día tuve suerte y hablé con un agente muy amable que revisó todo mi caso y lo arregló. A veces solo se necesita dar con la persona correcta.

Its absolutely rediculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to access benefits we're entitled to. The system is broken and needs a complete overhaul.
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose.

Hey OP, have you checked if your claim is flagged for identity verification? Sometimes that can cause login issues. Might be worth asking about if you do get through to someone.
alguien save si tienen un chat en linea en español? a veces es mas facil escribir que hablar por telefono
Creo que sí tienen, pero la última vez que revisé estaba 'temporalmente fuera de servicio'. Típico 🙄
2M
El chat en línea es hit or miss. A veces funciona bien, otras veces te dejan esperando por siempre. Yo prefiero llamar, aunque sea un dolor de cabeza.
2M
LPT: Llama temprano en la mañana, como a las 8:01 AM. He notado que hay menos espera y más probabilidad de conseguir un agente que hable español a esa hora.
Here's what I've learned from dealing with past due payments: • Always document everything. Keep records of when you called, who you spoke to, and what was said. • If possible, set up automatic payments to avoid future issues. • Check if there's an online portal where you can make payments or see account status. • Sometimes sending a written request (email or certified mail) can get better results than phone calls. • If it's a significant amount, consider consulting with a financial advisor or credit counselor. • Don't ignore the problem - it usually only gets worse. • If you're having financial difficulties, be upfront about it. Many companies have hardship programs. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start documenting everything from now on.

have you tried reaching out on social media? sometimes companies respond faster there to avoid bad publicity lol

Okay, let me break this down for you based on my experience and what I've learned from others in similar situations: 1. First, double-check your online account. Sometimes the system flags that a form is needed even if you've already submitted it. It's a known glitch. 2. If you can't find any pending forms in your online account, look for any recent mail from EDD. They often send follow-up forms via snail mail. 3. The form in question could be: - DE 2501 (Doctor's Certificate) - DE 2515 (Claim for Disability Insurance Benefits) - DE 2063 (Employment Development Department Claim Update) 4. If you've already submitted all of these, it might be a system error. In this case, you'll need to contact EDD directly. 5. While waiting for clarification, continue to certify for benefits if prompted. Don't let a potential system error interrupt your claim. 6. If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via their online contact form or even their social media accounts. Remember, the EDD system is overloaded and glitchy. Stay persistent and document everything. Good luck with your claim and congrats on your pregnancy! 🤰💪
