Need help checking SDI claim status and payment - any tips?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to check on my disability claim status and payment. It's been a while since I filed and I'm getting anxious. Has anyone had any luck getting through to someone or finding out about their claim recently? Any tips would be appreciated!

Ugh, I feel you. I've been trying to get info on my claim for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to know what's going on 🙄

Yeah, I've tried that. No luck. It's either busy signals or being on hold forever 😫

Pro tip: try calling right at 8:01 AM. Sometimes you can sneak in before the rush!

I found a method that actually works 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

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda steep just to talk to someone...

I get the skepticism, but honestly, after weeks of trying, it was worth every penny. Saved me so much time and stress.

How long did you have to wait once you used the service?

It took about 2 hours, but I just went about my day and they called me when an agent was on the line. Way better than being stuck to my phone all day!

I swear, dealing with the disability office is like playing the lottery. You never know when you'll hit the jackpot and actually talk to a human 🤡

Here's what I've learned after months of dealing with disability claims: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep detailed records of when you call, who you speak to, and what they tell you. 3. Check your online account regularly for updates. 4. If you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your local representative's office. They can sometimes help push things along. 5. Make sure all your paperwork is in order and submitted correctly. 6. If you're waiting on a doctor to submit something, follow up with them regularly. 7. Join Facebook groups or forums specific to your state's disability system. Sometimes you can get insider tips. 8. Be polite but firm when you do get through to someone. 9. Consider using a paid service like the one mentioned above if you're really desperate. 10. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself! Hang in there, everyone. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this!

Yes, actually! My state senator's office was surprisingly helpful. They have staff dedicated to helping constituents with government issues. Definitely worth a shot!

Anyone else notice that the system seems to be even slower lately? I wonder if they're short-staffed or something

I heard they got a bunch of new claims because of that factory shutdown last month. Might be causing delays

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I've heard it might be faster
