SDI Payment Delayed After Disability Extension - 14 Days No Payment

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. The system is so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? It took me forever to get through, but I finally got some answers.

Sometimes there can be delays if they're processing the extension. Have you checked your online account to see if there's any updates or messages?

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've learned from dealing with disability payments for the past year: • Extensions can cause delays in processing • Sometimes payments are held if they need additional verification • System glitches happen more often than they admit • Always keep documentation of your doctor's orders • If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via their online portal or even snail mail Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes the online system doesnt update but the moneys already there

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should be grateful we even have a disability system? In some countries, you'd be SOL 🤷‍♂️

This happened to me last year. Turns out they needed additional info from my doctor but never bothered to tell me. Might be worth asking if they're missing any documentation.

I went through something similar a few months ago. The delay often happens when there's a gap between your original claim period ending and the extension starting - the system needs time to process the new dates. A few things that helped me: 1) Check if your extension paperwork was submitted correctly by your doctor, 2) Look for any "pending" status in your online account, and 3) If it's been more than 21 days, definitely escalate. In my case, it took about 3 weeks total but I did get backpay for the delayed period. Don't give up!
