SDI Payment Delayed - 2 Days No Answer. Help!

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been trying to get ahold of someone for over a week now. Its like they dont even want to help us 🤬

I feel your pain. The SDI system is completely overwhelmed right now. Here's what I've learned after weeks of trying: 1. Keep calling persistently. It's frustrating, but sometimes you get lucky. 2. Try different times of day. Early morning or late afternoon might have slightly better odds. 3. Have all your information ready when you call. Claim number, social security number, etc. 4. Be polite to the representatives when you do get through. They're swamped too. 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes can help expedite things. 6. Check your online account regularly for updates. 7. Make sure all your paperwork is in order and submitted correctly. Hang in there. I know it's tough, but keep at it. The system is broken, but eventually, you'll get through.

Guys, I found a method that actually works 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.

Am I the only one who thinks its absolutely insane that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our own money? 🤔 The whole system needs an overhaul

Has anyone had luck with the online portal? I've been trying to update my claim there but keep getting error messages 😫

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all stopped calling constantly, the lines wouldn't be so jammed and they could actually process our claims faster 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else feel like were playing a twisted game of phone tag with the government? 📞🏓 Tag, you're it SDI... oh wait, you never call back 🙃
