SDI Application Pending for Months - Filed in August, Still No Response

Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. My SDI application has been pending for months now. I initially filed it back in August and still haven't heard anything. Has anyone else experienced such long delays? Any advice on how to speed up the process or what I should do next?

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can sometimes get faster results than uploading online.

Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it! Sometimes the old ways work best with these outdated systems.

Just a heads up, there was a news article last week about SDI implementing a new processing system. Might be causing extra delays. Hang in there!

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.

0 coins

Oh no, I'm not sure actually. How did you find out what documentation they needed?

I had to call and speak to a rep. They told me exactly what forms were missing. It's a pain, but worth double-checking!

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point.

Just a heads up, there's been some changes to the disability benefits system recently. Make sure you're using the most up-to-date forms or your claim might get delayed even more.

SDI Payment Delayed 2 Months - Any Tips to Speed It Up?

Has anyone else been waiting forever for their SDI payment? I've been waiting for 2 months now and still nothing. This is getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive without income for so long? Anyone have any tips on how to speed up the process or at least get some answers?

I heard they're super backlogged because of covid. Doesn't make it any easier for us tho ๐Ÿ˜“

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

What time do they open? Might try this tomorrow.
