SDI Payment Delayed for a Month - What Can I Do?

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. The system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last year and it was a nightmare. Have you tried calling their helpline? It's a pain to get through, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post updates there about payment status or issues with your claim. Might be worth a look if you haven't already.

This is ridiculous. The whole system is broken. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. 😡

Here's what you need to do to resolve this issue: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of when you were supposed to receive your payment, any communication you've had with the disability office, and attempts to contact them. 2. Check your online account: Make sure all your information is up to date and there are no pending tasks or requests for additional information. 3. Contact your local office: Sometimes the local offices can be more helpful than the main helpline. Look up the contact info for your nearest disability services office. 4. Reach out to your state representative: If you're still not getting anywhere, your local government rep might be able to help push things along. 5. Consider legal aid: If all else fails, there are often free legal services available for disability benefit issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say. Good luck!

have u checked ur bank info on file? I once had a payment delayed cuz they had an old account number 🤦‍♂️

Ugh, I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat rn. Been waiting 6 weeks for my first payment. This system is a joke 🤡
