Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for 3 months now. It's like they forgot about us or something. 🤦‍♂️

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? Sometimes they can help push things along.

This is why the system is broken. They make it so hard to get help that people just give up. We need to demand better from our government!

Here's what I've learned from my experience with SDI: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and interactions with SDI. 2. Send a written appeal if your claim is delayed. Sometimes this can trigger a review. 3. Check your online account daily for updates or requests for additional information. 4. If possible, get your doctor to contact SDI directly about your case. 5. As a last resort, contact your local state representative or senator's office for help. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to SDI issues. Sometimes you can get good advice there. 7. Be persistent but polite when you do get through to someone. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but keep fighting for what you're owed.

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 4 months here. starting to think ill never see that money 🤡

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that can help.

I heard they're super backlogged because of covid. Doesn't make it any easier for us tho 😓

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.
