SDI Payment Delays - Anyone Else Struggling to Get Their Disability Insurance Money?

Ugh, I feel ya. Been waiting on my payment for weeks now. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho 🙄

I actually found a way to get through to someone on the phone. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned from dealing with disability insurance payments: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and correspondence. 2. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times to get the right person. 3. Check your online account regularly for updates. 4. If possible, submit any required documents electronically for faster processing. 5. Consider reaching out to your local representative if you're really stuck. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP.

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes the payment goes thru but the online system doesnt update 🤷‍♂️

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's a joke that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to. Anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian nightmare? 🤡

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open in the morning. I got through after only a 30 min wait last week. Good luck!
