SDI Extension Form Submitted 2 Weeks Ago - No Response. What to Do?

Ugh, I feel ya. I was in the same boat last month. It took them almost 3 weeks to get back to me! 😤 Here's what I did: 1. Call them ASAP. Don't wait. 2. Be super nice (even if ur frustrated) 3. Ask for the status of ur application 4. See if they need any more info from u 5. Get a timeframe for when you'll hear back Good luck! The waiting game sucks, but hang in there!

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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

have u tried checking ur online account? sometimes they update the status there b4 they actually contact u

Bruh, the disability office is a joke. I've been waiting for 2 months now. Good luck getting any real help from them. 🤡

Here's a comprehensive guide to follow up on your disability extension: 1. Check Your Online Account: - Log in to your SDI account and check for any updates or messages. - Sometimes they update the status online before contacting you directly. 2. Prepare for the Call: - Gather all relevant documents (claim number, SSN, dates of submission, etc.) - Write down specific questions you want to ask 3. Make the Call: - Call early in the morning for shorter wait times - Be patient and polite with the representative - Clearly explain your situation and ask about the status of your application - Inquire if any additional information is needed - Ask for an estimated timeframe for a decision 4. Document Everything: - Write down the date and time of your call - Get the name of the representative you spoke with - Take notes on what was discussed and any next steps 5. Follow-Up: - If they request additional information, send it ASAP - Mark your calendar for the estimated decision date - If you don't hear back by then, call again 6. Escalate if Necessary: - If you're not getting anywhere, ask to speak with a supervisor - Consider contacting your local state representative for assistance Remember, persistence is key. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself, but always remain courteous. Good luck!

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' our paperwork? 🙄 Make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them!
