SDI Extension: Submitted forms a month ago, no response. How to check approval status and payment timeline?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat a few months ago. It took them forever to get back to me. Have you tried calling their customer service line? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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

Here's what I know about the disability extension process: • Once you submit your forms, it typically takes 2-4 weeks for processing • You can check your claim status online through the EDD website • If approved, payments usually start within 7-10 days • If you haven't heard anything after 4 weeks, definitely follow up Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 I swear they use carrier pigeons to process these claims

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember's office? Sometimes they can help expedite things or at least get you some answers.

Ive been waiting for 3 months now...starting to think ill never see that money 😭

PSA: Make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. I learned that lesson the hard way when they claimed they never received my forms 🙄

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🤦‍♂️

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might explain the delay.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Just a thought!
