Can't reach SDI rep on phone - Tried everything, need help!

I found a way to solve disability office phone frustrations, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA0nliA9Zl8

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been dealing with the same issue for months. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone. 🤬

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been dealing with the same issue for months. It's like they don't want us to talk to them 🙄

Pro tip: Try calling on Wednesdays around 10:30 AM. For some reason, I've had better luck getting through then. Also, make sure you have all your info ready when you call!

I found a method that actually works to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for way too long: • Call exactly at 8:00 AM when they open • If you get a busy signal, hang up and immediately redial • Keep doing this for at least 30 minutes • Try different days of the week (I had luck on Wednesdays) • If you get through to the automated system, DO NOT press anything. Wait for it to transfer you • Have all your info ready so you don't waste time once you get someone It's a pain, but persistence is key. Good luck!

This is ridiculous. We pay taxes for this service, and we cant even use it properly. Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about this issue?

have you tried emailing them? sometimes that works better than calling

I swear they do this on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. It's all a big scam 🤡

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for way too long: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Try different times of day. Early morning (right when they open) or late afternoon sometimes works better. 3. Use the online portal if possible for simple questions or updates. 4. Have all your information ready before you call. They might actually pick up when you least expect it! 5. Consider using a call-back service if you're really desperate (like the one mentioned above). 6. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 7. Be polite but firm when you do get through. Remember, the person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this frustrating boat together! 🚣‍♀️

Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, try the non-English line. Usually way shorter wait times!

lol maybe we should all just show up at their office. bet theyd answer the phone then 😂

Has anyone else noticed that the hold music is like, the worst ever? I swear it's designed to make us hang up 🎵🤮

I'm in the same boat. been trying to reach them for weeks to clarify my claim. this whole system is a joke

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through

lol good luck. i gave up after 2 months of trying. ended up just going back to work cuz i couldnt deal with the stress anymore

Has anyone tried faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes old school methods work 🤔
