How to check SDI status? Stuck waiting for updates from EDD

Hey everyone, I'm trying to check on my disability insurance status but I'm not sure where to start. Has anyone had any luck getting updates recently? I've been waiting for a while and haven't heard anything back. Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

I've been in the same boat. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling the EDD directly? Sometimes that's the only way to get any real info.

I've tried calling but I can never get through. It's like their lines are always busy 😫

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold last week!

Check your online account if you haven't already. Sometimes they update the status there before sending out notices.

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting 6 weeks for an update on my claim. Anyone know if there's been any improvement in processing times lately?

I heard they hired more staff, but tbh I haven't seen any difference. Still feels like were shouting into the void 🕳️

6 weeks? That's nothing. I'm going on 3 months now. This system is broken af

Hey, I actually found a way 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: • Always keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit • Check your online account daily for updates • If you call, try early morning or late afternoon • Be prepared with your claim number and all relevant dates • If you get conflicting info, ask for a supervisor • Document every interaction (date, time, who you spoke to) • Consider reaching out to your local assembly member for help It's a long process, but stay persistent. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself. Good luck!

Have you checked if there are any forms you need to fill out? Sometimes they don't tell you and your claim just sits there 🙄
