SDI Claim Issues: Refund and Reapply? Need Advice!

Ugh, SDI claims can be such a headache! I've been there before. What exactly went wrong with your application? Sometimes it's just a matter of fixing a small error and resubmitting.

I wouldn't bother with a refund, honestly. It's probably more hassle than it's worth. Just keep trying to submit your claim. Sometimes the system is down for maintenance or overloaded. Try again in a day or two.

Hey, 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

SDI is such a mess rn 🤦‍♂️ I've been trying to get my claim sorted for weeks. The whole system needs an overhaul, fr.

Listen up, folks. I've been through the SDI claim process multiple times, and I've learned a few tricks. Here's what you need to know: • First, always double-check your information before submitting. One wrong digit can cause major headaches. • If you're getting errors, try a different browser or device. The site doesn't play nice with some setups. • Keep all your documentation handy. You might need to provide additional info at any time. • If you can't get through online, calling early in the morning (right when they open) or late in the day (an hour before closing) can increase your chances of reaching someone. • Be persistent! Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get your claim through. • If all else fails, consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things along. Remember, the system is frustrating, but stay calm and keep at it. You'll get there eventually!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out and back in can help with those pesky errors

I feel your pain, OP. I was in the same boat last month. Hang in there!

Hey Tristan! I went through something similar a few months ago. Before you go the refund route, I'd suggest trying what Sofia mentioned about using a different browser first - that actually worked for me when I was getting constant error messages. Also, make sure you're not using any browser extensions that might be interfering (ad blockers, etc.). If you're still stuck after trying the technical fixes, calling really is your best bet. I know it's a pain, but I had success calling right at 8am when they open - got through on my third try. The refund process can take weeks and then you're basically starting from scratch, so it's usually faster to just troubleshoot the current application. Good luck! 🤞
