SDI Payment Delays: Advice Needed for California EDD Disability Claim Issues

Has anyone else been having trouble with their payments and documents? I've been waiting for ages and still haven't received anything. It's so frustrating! I'm starting to worry about how I'm going to pay my bills. Anyone have any advice or in the same boat?

Daniel Rivera

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with this nonsense for months, and here's what I've learned: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need it. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Reach out to your local representative. Sometimes they can help push things along. 4. Join Facebook groups or forums for your state's unemployment. You can get good info there. 5. If you're really desperate, consider that phone service someone mentioned. It might be worth it. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system sucks, but we're all in this together. Don't give up!

Kafka? More like a horror movie. EDD is the monster that won't die 🧟‍♂️

It's surreal how inefficient the system is. Feels like a never-ending loop.

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it sucks rn but it will get better. Have you looked into any local resources for help with bills while you wait?

There are often community programs that assist with utility bills or rent. It's worth looking into!

This is why we need UBI. The current system is clearly not working for anyone. Time for a change!

It's a fascinating discussion. While UBI has its benefits, it also requires significant economic planning.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Yep, 100% legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous! The system is so broken 😡

I get it, but think about how much time and stress it saves. For me, it was totally worth it

Just be cautious and check reviews. Claimyr has helped many, but it's important to know it might not work for everyone.

It's crazy how difficult it is to get through. Have you tried different times of the day? Sometimes early morning or late evening might work better.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there before sending anything out.

If you're struggling to reach someone about your payments, Claimyr can be a helpful tool. It certainly has its benefits, especially for those who have been endlessly stuck on hold. However, it's important to weigh the cost and consider whether it's a feasible option for you financially. Some users have found success, while others still face hurdles even after connecting. It's always a good idea to explore alternative methods, such as checking your online state portal or contacting local representatives for assistance. Every approach has its pros and cons, so mix and match them to find what works best for your situation. Remember, persistence is crucial, and don't hesitate to reach out to community groups or forums for additional support and advice from those in similar circumstances.
