Missed payment on SDI extension - What happens now?

Ugh, been there done that. It's such a headache dealing with the disability office. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes they can work out a payment plan if you explain your situation.

Listen up, I've been down this road and I've got some advice for you. Here's what you need to do: • First, don't panic. One missed payment isn't the end of the world. • Document everything. Write down when you missed the payment and why. • Try to make the payment ASAP if you can. The sooner, the better. • Call the disability office. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while. • Explain your situation calmly and ask about your options. • They might offer a payment plan or a way to catch up without penalties. • If you're having ongoing financial issues, ask about hardship programs. • Keep a record of who you talked to and what they said. • Follow up with a written request if they ask you to. Remember, these things happen. The key is to communicate with them and show you're trying to fix the situation. Good luck!

I found a method 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

have you tried emailing them? sometimes its easier to get a response that way

Oof, missed payments are the worst. I once forgot to pay my car insurance and ended up with a whole mess of problems. Hope you get it sorted out soon!

The disability system is such a joke. They make it so hard for people who actually need help. It's like they want us to fail 🤡

Hey OP, how long have you been on disability? Just curious cuz I'm about to apply and I'm nervous about the whole process.
