SDI Application Pending for Months - Filed in August, Still No Response

I found a way to solve long SDI application delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTSD3YfLvKc

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last year. It took almost 6 months for my SDI to get approved. The system is so backed up its ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can help move things along.

I found a method 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 checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there without sending a notification. Also, make sure all your docs are uploaded correctly. A friend of mine had her app delayed cause one form didn't go through properly.

This is why the system is broken. People shouldn't have to wait months for benefits they need NOW. We need to put pressure on our representatives to fix this mess. 😤

Here's what you need to do to get your SDI application moving: 1. Double-check all your documentation. Make sure everything is filled out correctly and completely. 2. If you haven't already, create an online account and check your status there. 3. Try to contact them through multiple channels - phone, email, and even snail mail if necessary. 4. Consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes can help expedite these things. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 6. If you're really desperate, some people have had luck contacting local news stations about the delays. Bad publicity can sometimes motivate action. 7. Join Facebook groups or other online communities focused on SDI issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips there. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 5 months here. SDI more like SMH amirite? 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can sometimes get faster results than uploading online.

Just a heads up, there was a news article last week about SDI implementing a new processing system. Might be causing extra delays. Hang in there!
