SDI Application Status Check - Weeks of Silence. Any tips to speed it up or get an update?

I found a way to solve long disability insurance application wait, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q8E7cbGM2g

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been waiting for like 2 months now. The system is so backed up its ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? I heard thats the best way to get an update.

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 before sending any notifications.

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's been 6 weeks for me. I've heard they're severely understaffed right now, so everything's moving at a snail's pace. Hang in there! 💪

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research: 1. Be patient. Current processing times are 4-6 weeks on average. 2. Check your online account regularly for updates. 3. Make sure all your documentation is complete and accurate. 4. If you haven't heard anything after 6 weeks, try to contact them. 5. Consider using a calling service if you can't get through on your own. 6. If you're in dire financial straits, reach out to local non-profits or your state rep for assistance. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy 🤡 where everything moves at the speed of a three-toed sloth

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative? I've heard sometimes they can help speed things up.

Just a heads up, make sure you're checking your mail carefully. They sent me a request for additional info that looked like junk mail, and I almost threw it out. Don't want your application to get delayed because of something like that!

This whole system is broken af. We need serious reform. How are ppl supposed to survive while waiting months for benefits they've paid into? 😤
