How long does SDI take to process a claim after receiving it?

From my experience, it usually takes about 2 weeks (14 days) for SDI to process a claim after they receive it. But keep in mind, this can vary depending on their workload and how complete your application was.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at SDI! 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 a detailed breakdown of the SDI claim process and timeline: 1. File your claim online or by mail 2. SDI receives and logs your claim (1-3 days) 3. Initial processing and review (7-10 days) 4. Additional info requested if needed (can add 5-7 days) 5. Final decision and benefit calculation (2-4 days) 6. Notification sent to you Total time: 14-21 days on average, but can be longer if there are complications or high volume of claims. Pro tip: Make sure your application is complete and all supporting docs are included to avoid delays!

lol good luck getting anything done quickly with SDI. theyre a joke 🤡

Has anyone heard about the new online portal SDI is supposed to be launching? Wonder if that'll speed things up at all.

Pro tip: If you haven't heard anything after 3 weeks, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things!

I'm currently waiting on my SDI claim too and it's been about 10 days since they received it. From what I'm seeing here, sounds like I'm still within the normal timeframe. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences - it helps to know what to expect! @Connor Richards, hope you hear back soon!
