Need help amending SDI claim to add correct doctor info - stuck in phone hell!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I had to amend my claim last year and it was a nightmare. Have you tried faxing in the correction? Sometimes that's faster than calling.

I swear, dealing with SDI is like trying to nail jello to a wall 🤦‍♂️ Have you tried reaching out to your state representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's butt.

Listen up, folks! I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what you need to know about amending SDI claims: • First, try the online portal. Sometimes you can make minor changes there without calling. • If that doesn't work, look for form DE 2501F on the EDD website. This is your go-to for amendments. • Fill out the form COMPLETELY. Any missing info will just delay things. • Fax the form if possible. It's faster than mail and more reliable than trying to call. • Keep a copy of everything you send and note the date you sent it. • If you don't hear back in 10 business days, then start calling. Use the trick I'll mention in my next comment to get through. • Be persistent but polite. The folks on the other end are probably overworked and underpaid. Remember, patience is key. The system is frustrating, but you'll get there!

Alright, here's the secret weapon for actually getting someone on the phone. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a real person 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 turning SDI off and on again? 🤡

Ive been stuck in this same boat for 3 weeks now. its absolutely ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get our benifits. the system is broken af

Quick question - did you initially file online or by mail? I've heard the online system is more prone to errors like this.
