Missed ED259 form deadline for SDI, now $9000 behind in payments. When will they resume?

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. The SDI system can be such a pain to navigate, especially when you're not feeling well. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes talking to a real person can help move things along.

I found a way to actually 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

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: • First, don't panic. Your claim is still active, which is good news. • Write a letter explaining your situation - be honest about why you were late submitting the form. • Include any medical documentation that shows you were too ill to submit on time. • Send this via certified mail to your local SDI office. • ALSO fax the same documents (yes, they still use fax 🙄) • Keep calling every day. Be polite but persistent. • If you have a case worker assigned, try to get their direct line. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

this is why the system is broken smh. making sick ppl jump through hoops just to get the benefits they deserve. 🤮

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at the official SDI account can get their attention. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️

Oof, I feel for you OP. I missed a deadline once and it took forever to sort out. Hang in there!

Not to be that guy, but maybe set reminders for important deadlines next time? Could save you a lot of hassle in the future.

I had a similar issue last year. It took about a month after I submitted the late form for my payments to resume. They did backpay me for the missed payments tho, so theres hope!

Have you considered hiring an advocate? They can sometimes speed up the process, although it does cost money upfront.
