SDI Claim Issues: Impossible to Reach EDD by Phone - Advice Needed

Lol imagine SDI actually responding to tweets. "Sorry about ur claim, have u tried turning it off and on again?" 🤣

I tried DMing them on Twitter once. Radio silence. 👻

Social media can be hit-or-miss, but sometimes public visibility prompts quicker responses.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try reaching out to my assembly member. Did you just email their office or call?

I emailed first and then they called me back. They were actually super helpful and got things moving for me. Good luck!

I second emailing the assembly member. It's amazing how much faster things can move when you involve an elected official.

What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I know, right? But desperate times call for desperate measures. Let me know if you try it!

I've had mixed experiences with faxing. It's worth a try though, especially if you're having trouble with other methods.

Yeah, I've tried that but no luck. It's so frustrating! I even set an alarm for 5 minutes before they open and still couldn't get through. 😫

Same here. I've tried calling at different times throughout the day and it's always busy. This system is broken af 🤬

I feel like they need to improve their call handling system. There's got to be a better way than everyone calling at once.

I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying that for years.

My cousin works for the state (not SDI) and she said they are working on it, but it's gonna take time. Don't hold your breath.

A system update would be a massive undertaking. I hope they prioritize user-friendliness and efficiency.

I'm down. SDI flash mob anyone? 💃🕺

Lmao imagine the look on their faces. But for real, that might actually get some attention 🤔

While it's a bold idea, consider the impact and potential risks. Coordinated efforts could be more effective through official channels.

Pretty sure that's not legal, my dude. I wouldn't risk it.

I heard it's pretty bad everywhere, tbh. Don't think changing counties would help much.

Backlogs seem widespread. It's better to address the root problems rather than trying to circumvent them.

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken we have to pay extra now? 🙄

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me so much time and stress. Worth every penny imo.

It's unfortunate that such services have become necessary. But if it alleviates stress, it might be worth considering.

omg yes! It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in and shut it down just to mess with me 😅

Fr tho, I swear it's a conspiracy to make us all go crazy

Maintenance timing is always inconvenient. Perhaps there's a pattern we can track to avoid it?

Oh shoot, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up!

This! I missed one certification and it messed up my whole claim. Don't be like me, folks.

Certifying regularly keeps everything on track. Set reminders to ensure you don't miss it.

Thank you for this. It's been really overwhelming and it's nice to know I'm not alone.

This is so important. The stress of dealing with SDI on top of whatever put us on disability in the first place is no joke.

Remember to take breaks and seek support when you need it. Mental health is as important as resolving SDI issues.

That's smart, I'll start doing that. Do you just keep a log or do you record calls too?

I keep a detailed log with dates, times, and names if possible. Just be careful about recording calls - check your state laws first!

I've made it a habit to take screenshots of online interactions too. Those timestamps can be helpful.

3 months? Amateur. Try 6 months and counting. This whole system needs to be overhauled.

Oof, that's rough. I'm only at 2 months but it feels like an eternity. Solidarity, friend 💪

@profile 5 6 months?! That's insane. How are you even surviving?

It feels like the more people waiting, the slower it gets. Almost like the system's bandwidth is stretched too thin.

That's scary, thanks for the warning. Any specific red flags to watch out for?

Basically, if anyone asks for your SSN or bank info claiming to be from SDI, double-check before giving anything out. And SDI will never ask for payment to process your claim.

Always verify the source and legitimacy of any communication related to your claims.
