Need help reaching a live agent for SDI claim questions - any tips?

I found a way to solve reaching a live SDI agent, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzy2tIEglAc

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to talk to real people anymore. Have you tried calling right when they open? That's worked for me in the past.

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

Have you tried reaching out through their online portal? Sometimes you can get a response faster that way than calling.

I've been dealing with SDI for months now and let me tell you, it's a nightmare. Here's what I've learned: • Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if you get disconnected. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every interaction. • If you can, try to find a specific person to talk to and get their direct line. • Be prepared with all your info before you call. They'll ask for your claim number, SSN, etc. • If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 😅

lol good luck getting anyone on the phone. SDI is a joke these days. 🤡

Have you considered going to one of their offices in person? Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things done.

Anyone else notice how the system seems to be designed to make us give up? Its like they want us to get frustrated and stop trying to get our benefits.
