Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the entire unemployment/disability system? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with forms and long wait times like it's 1980. 🤦♂️
Here's what worked for me to get my SDI extension: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. If calling doesn't work, try sending a message through the online portal. 4. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 5. Be persistent but polite when you do get through to someone. 6. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and submitted. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up. You're entitled to these benefits!
lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🙃 good luck getting any straight answers
Quick question - did you make sure all your medical documentation was up to date and submitted? That was what held up my extension for ages.

I heard they're super backlogged because of covid. Doesn't make it any easier for us tho 😓

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.
