SDI claim stuck after 3+ weeks - no payment, no updates. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my SDI claim. It's been over 3 weeks since my waiting period ended, and I still haven't received any payment. I filed everything online and it seemed to be approved, but now I'm just stuck waiting. I haven't gotten any notices or requests for more information. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

How to update employer info for PFL after company acquisition?
Hey everyone, I need to update my employer info for Paid Family Leave. My company just got acquired and I'm not sure how to go about this. Has anyone gone through this process before? What documents do I need to gather? Any tips would be appreciated!

Pro tip: If you're having trouble reaching someone, try calling right when they open. I always have better luck first thing in the morning.
This! 💯 Also, avoid calling on Mondays if possible. Always the busiest day.
Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the PFL system? It's 2023, why is everything still so complicated? 🤦♂️
Preach! 🙌 The whole thing is a dinosaur. We need some tech-savvy people to drag it into this century.
Careful what you wish for. Remember the unemployment website fiasco during covid? Sometimes "upgrades" make things worse lol
SDI payment delayed by a month due to postpartum extension - finally got through to a rep!
I haven't received my SDI payment in almost a month. My benefits were extended due to postpartum complications, but I can't find any forms that need attention. Has anyone else experienced this? I finally got through to a representative and they found some forms on their end that needed to be filled out. Now I can expect my money soon. What a relief! Has anyone else had similar issues with delayed payments?

Does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of specific forms online? Or do we just have to wait for them to contact us?
Unfortunately, the online system is pretty limited. You can see your overall claim status, but not individual form statuses. It's super frustrating!
EDD stopped my disability benefits for missed doctor appointment, appealed in September, no response. Help?
I've been waiting for my disability benefits since September. They stopped my payments because I missed an appointment with their doctor. I didn't see the letter in time to meet the deadline. I appealed before the final deadline, but I haven't heard anything back since. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long does the appeal process usually take?

Anyone else notice how they're super quick to stop payments but take forever to start them again? 🤔
PREACH 🙌
EDD payment held up due to doctor verification - claim expires tomorrow! Help!
I'm so frustrated. My unemployment payment is being held up because I couldn't get an appointment with the doctor for verification. My claim expires tomorrow and I still haven't received any money. I've tried calling the doctor's office but can't get through to anyone. Left messages but no response. What am I supposed to do? Has anyone else dealt with this?

idk man, sounds like ur in a tough spot. have u tried just showing up at the docs office? sometimes u gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease ya know
This! I had to do this once. Sat in the waiting room until they agreed to see me. It was awkward but it worked.
Is anyone else sick of how the unemployment system treats us like we're trying to scam them? We're just trying to survive here. It's not our fault the economy is a dumpster fire. 🔥
It's because a few bad apples spoil the bunch. There are people who do try to scam the system, which makes it harder for the rest of us.
Doesn't matter. The system should be designed to help people, not to catch a few cheaters at the expense of everyone else.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard it might speed things up.

Plot twist: I just checked my account and they had processed everything this morning! Keep checking, folks. Sometimes the system works... eventually.
