PSA: Always keep some cash stashed away for emergencies like this! Learned that lesson the hard way 😅
This is the way 💯 I keep an emergency $100 hidden in my sock drawer lol
This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's not just SDI, it's unemployment, disability, everything. We're all just stuck in this bureaucratic nightmare 😫
Yeah but good luck getting politicians to care about actually fixing it 🙄
Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at the official SDI account can get their attention.
I hadn't thought of that! I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic help? The system is broken af 😤
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something.
Hey OP, when you do get through, make sure to ask if theres any pending stuff on the account. Sometimes they dont tell u unless you ask specifically. Also, switching to checks might take a few weeks to process, so plan accordingly!

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative? I've heard that can sometimes speed things up when EDD is being particularly useless.

•I did this! It actually helped. Took about a week, but my rep's office got EDD to resolve my issue. Def worth a shot if you're getting nowhere with EDD directly.

•That's a great idea, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll give it a try if I can't get anywhere with EDD. Thanks!
