Ugh, SDI can be such a pain to deal with. I've been through the wringer with them before. What specific problem are you having? The more details you can provide, the better we can help you out.

Thanks for responding! I'm not really sure where to start. I filed my claim a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. Is that normal?

Unfortunately, that's pretty common these days. The system is so backed up. Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes that gives more info than waiting for them to contact you.

SDI is a total mess rn. I've been waiting on my claim for months and can't get anyone on the phone. It's like they don't want us to get our benefits 🙄

I found a way 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

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

I was skeptical at first too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Saved me hours of frustration.

How long did you have to wait before they connected you?

It took about 45 minutes, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They just called me when an agent was ready.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all your paperwork and note down every interaction. 2. Be persistent. If you can't get through on the phone, keep trying at different times. 3. Use their online portal as much as possible. It's often faster than calling. 4. If you're really stuck, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. 5. Make sure your doctor has submitted all necessary medical info. This is often a holdup. Hope this helps! Hang in there, it can be a frustrating process but you'll get through it.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start documenting everything better. Do you know how long it typically takes for a claim to be processed?

It can vary a lot, but in my experience, it usually takes 2-3 weeks if everything is in order. If there are any issues or missing info, it can take much longer. That's why it's so important to make sure everything is complete and accurate from the start.

Has anyone had success with appealing a denied claim? I'm thinking about going that route but not sure if it's worth the hassle.

I appealed and won, but it took forever. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you start the process.

How long did the appeal take? And did you use a lawyer or do it yourself?

It took about 2 months. I did it myself, but I spent a lot of time researching and preparing. If your case is complicated, a lawyer might be worth it.
