How to change phone number for SDI claim? Urgent help needed!

I had the same issue a few months ago. Unfortunately, you can't just change the number directly. You'll need to start a new claim with the updated phone number. It's a pain, but that's how the system works. 🙄

Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes you can get lucky and find a helpful agent who can make the change for you over the phone.

I found a method 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 you need to do: 1. Log out of your current account 2. Create a new account with your updated phone number 3. Verify the new number via text message 4. Submit a new claim with all your information 5. In the comments section, mention that this is an update to an existing claim and provide your old claim number if possible It's a hassle, but it's the most reliable way to ensure they have your correct contact info. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to update a phone number? 🤡 the system is broken af

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes that's the only way to get through to these government agencies.

I've been dealing with disability claims for years now, and let me tell you, it never gets easier. Hang in there, OP. We're all rooting for you!
