Missed SDI call - what now? Need help ASAP
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my SDI payment. I missed a call from them and now I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get back in touch or what my next steps should be?

Ugh, that sucks. I've been there before. Have you tried calling them back? Sometimes they leave a voicemail with a direct number or extension.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't get a voicemail, unfortunately. Just a missed call notification. 😕

Pro tip: always answer unknown numbers when ur waiting on SDI. They rarely call twice 🤦♂️

I 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Can you explain more about how it works? Do they give you a specific time when they'll call you back?

Sure! You choose the department you need to reach, pay, and then they start calling right away. When they get a real person, they connect you. No specific time given, but it usually takes less than an hour in my experience.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there even if you miss a call.

This whole system is so broken. Why cant they just use email like a normal organization? 🤔 Ive been waiting on my payment for weeks now.

Email? Nah, they should text us. Everyone has a phone these days.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the main SDI number as soon as they open. Be prepared to wait. 2. If you can't get through, try calling right before they close. 3. Check your online account for any updates or messages. 4. If you have a case worker assigned, try emailing them directly. 5. As a last resort, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember to document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. This can be helpful if you need to escalate your case. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence usually pays off with these bureaucratic systems. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a response.

Early morning, right when they open. Set an alarm and be ready to dial!

OP, whatever you do, DON'T give up. Keep calling, keep trying. It took me 3 weeks of constant attempts but I finally got through and sorted my issue. Stay strong! 💪
