Random calls about SDI payment - no reply when answered. Anyone else?

I found a way to solve disability payment call frustrations, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZvxtSlH9fo

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 🤡

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

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? 🤬

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. 💪

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?

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?

I've been getting these exact same calls! Started about 2 weeks ago - phone rings, I answer expecting maybe some news about my claim status, but then just silence. It's so stressful because when you're waiting for disability payments, every call feels like it could be "the call" with important updates. I've started googling the numbers when they call, and some of them do show up as potential EDD numbers, but others are just random. The worst part is not knowing if you're missing something important by not answering. I think we should definitely start documenting these - maybe there's a pattern or we can figure out which ones are legit vs scam calls targeting disability claimants.

I've been dealing with this exact issue for the past month! Getting 2-3 calls per day from numbers that look like they could be EDD-related, but when I answer it's just dead silence or sometimes a weird clicking sound before they hang up. What's really frustrating is that I'm still waiting on my initial determination letter, so every time the phone rings my heart jumps thinking it might be someone with updates about my case. I've started screenshotting the numbers and times - so far I've gotten calls from at least 6 different numbers that all seem to follow the same pattern. The worst part is wondering if one of these silent calls was actually a legitimate EDD worker who got disconnected and I missed my chance to talk to someone real. Has anyone tried calling these numbers back to see if they're actually connected to EDD?

This is so relatable! I've been getting these phantom calls for about 3 weeks now - usually 1-2 per day from different numbers that look official but then just dead silence when I answer. The timing is really suspicious because it started right after I submitted my disability application. I've been keeping a note in my phone with all the numbers and times they called, and there's definitely a pattern - they seem to call most often between 10am-2pm on weekdays. What's really messing with my head is not knowing if I accidentally missed a real EDD worker due to a bad connection. I even called EDD's main line to ask if they had been trying to reach me and got told there were no outbound calls noted on my account. At this point I'm convinced these are either scammers who somehow know we've filed claims, or EDD's phone system is just completely broken. Either way, it's adding so much unnecessary stress to an already difficult process.
