Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open in the morning. I got through in like 10 minutes doing that!
What time do they open? Might have to set an alarm lol

I think it's 8am Pacific Time. Don't quote me on that tho, double check their website to be sure!

Anyone else feel like they're playing phone tag with the government? π It's like, can we get a callback system or something? Welcome to 2023, SDI! π
LOL for real tho. Sometimes I wonder if they're still using rotary phones over there π€£

Has anyone had luck contacting their state rep? I've heard that can sometimes speed things up.
I tried that last month. They sent an inquiry but I haven't heard anything back yet. Worth a shot tho!

Hey everyone, I'm in a really tough spot right now. My ID.me account got suspended out of nowhere and I can't file my disability claim because of it. I've sent them multiple tickets but they're not responding at all. I'm getting desperate because I need to file this claim ASAP for the money. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get past the ID.me verification or contact them directly? I'm at my wit's end here.
have u tried making a new ID.me account? might be easier than dealing with the suspended one
Pretty sure that's against their terms of service. Could make things worse if they catch you.

oh shoot, didnt know that. nvm then lol

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to get my account unsuspended for weeks now. This whole situation is ridiculous. Sending positive vibes your way π
Quick question - how long ago was the form submitted? If it's recent, you might be able to catch it before it causes too many issues.
Have you tried reaching out to your HR department? Sometimes they can help navigate these issues with the benefits office. Worth a shot!
That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks!

Here's what you need to do to troubleshoot SDI payment delays: 1. Check your online account for any messages or alerts 2. Verify all your documents are submitted and up to date 3. Make sure your doctor has submitted all necessary medical certifications 4. Double-check that your employer has submitted wage info correctly 5. If everything looks good, try to contact SDI directly 6. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them 7. If all else fails, consider reaching out to your local state representative for help Remember, patience is key. The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off. Good luck!

Man, the EDD system is such a joke. They make it so hard to even pay them, let alone get any help. I've been dealing with issues for months now. Solidarity, brother β
Preach! π The whole system needs an overhaul

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you can try: 1. Double-check your card details: Make sure the number, expiration date, and CVV are all correct. 2. Contact your bank: There might be a hold or restriction on your card. 3. Try a different payment method: If possible, use another card or PayPal. 4. Clear browser data: As someone mentioned, clear your cache and cookies. 5. Use a different device: Try making the payment from a different computer or your phone. 6. Check for system issues: Sometimes the EDD payment system itself has glitches. Check their Twitter or website for any announced issues. 7. Wait and try again: If all else fails, wait a few hours and attempt the payment again. If none of these work, you might need to contact EDD directly. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this comprehensive list! I'll work my way through these steps and hopefully one of them will solve the issue.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Keep calling, even if it's frustrating. The more you try, the better your chances. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or requests. 3. Make sure all your documents are in order and uploaded correctly. 4. If you can, reach out to your local representative. Sometimes they can help push things along. 5. Don't give up! It's a slow process, but persistence pays off. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try reaching out to my rep. Didn't even think of that!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down when you were supposed to be paid, and any communication you've had about it. 2. Check your employee handbook or contract for payment policies. 3. Contact your immediate supervisor first. They might be able to resolve it quickly. 4. If that doesn't work, go to HR or payroll department. 5. Be polite but firm. Mistakes happen, but you need your money. 6. If it's not resolved quickly, consider contacting your state's labor board. 7. Keep a paper trail of all communications. Remember, it's illegal for employers to withhold pay. Don't let them brush you off. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely follow these steps.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, Wednesdays seem to be less busy for some reason.

This. Also, try calling from a different phone number if you can. Sometimes they block numbers that call too often.
