Missed SDI callback - How to follow up on claim?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The SDI system is such a mess. I've been trying to get through to them for weeks. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us to get help. 🤬

I actually found a way to get through to a real person! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when an agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried calling right when they open? I've had some luck getting through that way. Also, make sure you have all your claim info ready before you call. They'll ask for a ton of details.

Pro tip: if you miss their call, try calling back immediately. Sometimes you can catch the same agent who just tried to reach you. worked for me once!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Filed my claim 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything. The waiting game is killing me. Anyone know how long it typically takes to process these claims?

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 3. If possible, use their online portal to submit questions. Sometimes it's faster than phone. 4. Check your spam folder regularly. Important emails can end up there. 5. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. 6. Be prepared for long wait times. Have something to do while on hold. 7. Double-check all your paperwork before submitting. One small error can cause big delays. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they make it hard enough. 🙄
