Just got SDI Notice of Computation - What to check and what to expect next?

Hey everyone, I just got my Notice of Computation for SDI. Has anyone else gone through this process recently? I'm wondering if I should double-check all the info on it or if I can just assume everything's correct. Any advice would be appreciated!

I found a way to solve SDI Notice of Computation issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgQfHhs0IDs

Congrats on getting your Notice of Computation! 🎉 Definitely take a close look at all the info. I learned the hard way that mistakes can happen. Make sure your wage info and benefit amount look right. If anything seems off, contact them ASAP. Better to catch any issues early!

I found a method to get someone on the phone about SDI issues. 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

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

Totally get the skepticism, but it's legit. I was desperate and took a chance. Saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo

20 bucks to skip the hold time? sign me up! 💸💸💸

Pro tip: Take a picture of your Notice of Computation as soon as you get it. You never know when you might need to reference it, and finding old paperwork is a pain in the a**.

Does anyone know if the benefit amount on the Notice of Computation is before or after taxes? I'm trying to budget and I'm not sure if I should be counting on the full amount or not.

It's before taxes. You can choose to have taxes withheld, but it's not automatic. Make sure to set some aside if you don't opt for withholding!

Oh man, thanks for the heads up! Definitely gonna have to adjust my budget 😅

Hey OP, congrats on getting your Notice! Here's a detailed breakdown of what you should do next: • Review all personal information (name, address, SSN, etc.) for accuracy • Check the base period wages listed - these determine your benefit amount • Verify the weekly benefit amount matches what you expect based on your wages • Look at the claim start date and make sure it's correct • Check if there are any penalties or overpayments listed (hopefully not!) • If anything looks wrong, gather supporting documents (pay stubs, W-2s) • Contact SDI immediately if you find errors - don't wait! • Keep the notice in a safe place - you'll need it for reference • If everything looks good, you can expect payments to start soon Remember, it's way easier to fix issues now than months down the line. Good luck with your claim!

Wow, this is super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to write all this out. I'll definitely use this as a checklist when I review my notice.

Seriously! My dog almost ate my notice. Digital copies should be standard by now 🐕📄

Quick question - does anyone know how long after getting the Notice of Computation it usually takes for the first payment to come through? I'm getting anxious about bills...

0 coins

It can vary, but for me it was about a week after I got the notice. Hang in there!

0 coins

Took almost 3 weeks for me 😭 But I think I'm an outlier. Most people I know got it faster.

Just wanted to add - when you're reviewing your Notice of Computation, pay special attention to the quarters they used for your base period wages. I had a situation where they missed one of my jobs from the base period and my benefit amount was way lower than it should have been. Had to submit additional wage info to get it corrected. Also, if you've had multiple employers, double-check that all your wages are included. The system sometimes misses smaller employers or contract work. Better to catch it now than deal with an appeal later!
