Random calls about SDI payment - no reply when answered. Anyone else?
Has anyone else been getting random phone calls about their disability payment? I just got one where I answered and waited, but there was no reply or anything. It's really frustrating because I'm waiting on important info about my payment. Anyone else experiencing this?

Ugh, yes! This has been happening to me too. It's so annoying because you never know if it's actually important or just another robocall. I've been waiting on my disability payment for weeks now and every time my phone rings, I get my hopes up 🤡

•Pro tip: write down the number and google it. Sometimes it'll show up as a legit government number, other times it's just spam.

I found a method 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

•Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

•I was skeptical at first too, but it actually worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. The $20 was worth it to finally get my issue resolved.

•How long did you have to wait before they connected you?

•It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to sit by the phone. They called me when an agent was on the line.

This whole system is broken af. Why do we even have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? 🤬

•Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Always document everything. Write down dates, times, and names of who you talk to. 2. Be persistent. Keep calling, even if it's frustrating. 3. Check your online account regularly for updates. 4. If possible, submit documents online rather than mailing them. 5. Reach out to your local representative if you're getting nowhere. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums for support and tips from others in the same boat. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

•Great advice! I'd add: don't be afraid to ask for a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to.

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes companies are more responsive there because it's public.

I'm so tired of this. Been waiting 3 months for my payment. How are we supposed to survive?

•3 months?! That's insane. Have you tried reaching out to your local news station? Sometimes public pressure helps.

Yes! I've been getting these phantom calls too. So frustrating - they call, you answer quickly thinking it might be important news about your claim, and then... nothing. Just dead air. I've started letting unknown numbers go to voicemail first, but then I worry I'm missing something urgent. It's like they're playing with our anxiety when we're already stressed about our payments. Has anyone figured out if these are legit EDD calls that just have technical issues, or if they're scam calls targeting people waiting for disability benefits?
