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!
