No letter or card from SDI after 2 weeks - need status update on claim

Ugh, welcome to the club 🙄 I waited almost a month before I got anything in the mail. The system is so backed up right now, its ridiculous. Have you tried checking your status online?

I found a way to actually 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep checking your online account daily. Sometimes updates appear there before you get mail. 2. Call the disability office first thing in the morning, right when they open. You might have better luck getting through. 3. If you can't reach anyone by phone, try sending a secure message through your online account. 4. Double-check that they have your correct mailing address on file. 5. Be patient (I know it sucks) but sometimes it just takes time for the bureaucracy to churn. If you still don't hear anything after 30 days, you might want to contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things along. Hang in there! 💪

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week after I faxed my inquiry

OMG THE WAITING GAME IS THE WORST 😫 I feel ur pain, OP. Took me forever to get my stuff sorted. Hang in there!

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online check. You never know when you'll need to prove you've been trying to resolve this.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out they had my address wrong by one number. Might be worth double-checking that with them

The whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get basic info about our claims. Time for some serious reform imho
