SDI Payment Delayed Past Due Date - What to Do?

Anyone else dealing with delayed disability payments? I'm past the payment date and still haven't received anything. It's causing some serious financial strain. Any advice on how to handle this or what to say when I finally get through to someone?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been in the same boat. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have better luck getting through.

Or try calling at like 4:55 PM. Sometimes they stay a few mins after close to finish up calls.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I would say when you get through: 1. Explain your situation calmly 2. Ask for a specific timeline for your payment 3. Inquire about any steps you can take to expedite the process 4. Get the name and ID of the person you're speaking with 5. Ask if there's a direct number or extension you can use for follow-up Stay polite but firm. Good luck!

Great advice! I'd add: take notes during the call. It's easy to forget details when you're stressed.

Just a heads up, there was a system update last week that caused some payment delays. They said it should be resolved by end of this week. Hang in there!

UBI would create more problems than it solves. We just need to fix the current system.
