SDI Claim Pending for Weeks - Any Advice to Speed Up Process?
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my SDI claim. It's been pending for a while now and I'm not sure what to do. I filed it a couple weeks ago but haven't heard anything back. Has anyone else experienced long wait times for their claim to be processed? Any advice on how to speed things up or what I should do next would be really appreciated!

SDI agent accused me of being on a 3-way call during claim inquiry - wtf?
So I finally got through to SDI about my disability claim payment, but the agent was acting super weird. They kept going on about hearing another voice and saying it was a three-way call. I was like, what? They said they'd have to escalate it. I'm not doing anything illegal, just trying to get my payment sorted out. Has anyone else had this happen? The agent didn't even tell me anything about my claim or why there might be delays. I'm so confused and frustrated right now.

This is why I always record my calls with SDI (its legal in my state as long as one party consents). That way, if they try to pull any shenanigans, I have proof of what was actually said.
Smart move! Just be careful, laws about recording calls can be tricky. Make sure you're 100% clear on your state's rules before doing this.
Good point! Always do your research first. In my case, I double-checked with a lawyer friend to make sure I was in the clear.
Need help checking SDI claim status without filing date - any tips?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to check on the status of my SDI claim but I'm not sure how long ago I filed it. I was driving when I tried to look it up and couldn't remember the exact date. Any advice on how to find out the status without knowing the filing date?

EDD Maternity Leave Claim: Tips for Medical Provider Form?
Hey everyone, I just got a medical provider form from the EDD for my maternity leave claim. They're asking my OB to fill it out. Has anyone gone through this process before? Any tips on making sure it goes smoothly? I'm a bit nervous about delays.

anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand half the questions on these forms? 🤔
Seriously! I swear they make it confusing on purpose 🙄
EDD payments stopped since 11/15 - Recertified but still no money. Help!
I filed an unemployment claim back in May and haven't received any payments since November 15th. I sent in my recertification last week, but still no money. Anyone else dealing with this? It's been over a month now and I'm getting worried.

Anyone else notice that claims seem to be taking way longer since COVID? I swear it used to be faster before the pandemic hit.

Hot take: what if we all showed up at the SDI office in person? They can't ignore us then! Who's with me? 😤✊
