Returning to SDI after being off since November - what to expect?

Ugh, the whole disability system is such a mess. I've been dealing with them for years and it's always a headache. Good luck with your return process, you're gonna need it! 🙄

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone quickly. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to know about returning to disability: • First, check if you're still within your benefit year. If not, you'll need to file a new claim. • Gather all your medical documentation showing your condition has worsened or changed. • You'll likely need a new doctor's certification. • Be prepared for a possible waiting period, depending on your state's rules. • Keep detailed records of all your communications with the disability office. Remember, every case is different. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you're unsure about anything in the process. Good luck!

lol good luck dealing with those clowns at the disability office 🤡 took me 3 months just to get my first check

Have you considered looking into partial disability? Might be easier to qualify for if your condition has improved somewhat since November.

Just went thru this myself. Make sure you keep ALL your paperwork from your previous claim. They might ask for it and it's a pain to get copies. Also, don't forget to follow up regularly - squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that jazz. 💯
