SDI Extension Approval Delay - Need Help ASAP to Keep Payments Coming

I found a way to solve disability extension approval delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtXXvpwqFv8

Ugh, I feel you. I've been there and it's so frustrating. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes that can help move things along.

Make sure you've submitted ALL the required paperwork. Double check everything. They love to delay things if even one tiny thing is missing.

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 tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting 3 months for my extension. Good luck 🙄

Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather ALL your medical documents, even ones you think might not be relevant. 2. Write a detailed letter explaining your situation and why you need the extension. 3. If possible, get a letter from your doctor supporting your need for extended benefits. 4. Submit everything together, preferably by certified mail so you have proof of receipt. 5. Follow up weekly by phone or email (document all communication). 6. If you don't hear back within 30 days, consider reaching out to your local representative or an disability advocate group. It's a pain, but being proactive and thorough can really speed things up. Hang in there!

I'm in the same boat. It's so stressful. Sending good vibes your way, OP! 🙏
