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

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting on my disability payment for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? I spent hours on hold and still couldn't get through.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there are messages or updates there that explain payment delays.

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on my disability check for over a month now. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous 🤬

Here's what I've learned from dealing with disability payments for years: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, letters, and online communications. 2. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times to get results. 3. Check for any pending forms or doctor certifications. Often, delays are due to missing paperwork. 4. If possible, use their online portal for updates and to submit documents. 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 6. Join support groups or forums (like this one!) for advice and to stay updated on common issues. 7. If all else fails, look into legal aid services that specialize in disability claims. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. The system can be a pain, but don't give up!

anyone else notice how the payment dates keep changing on the website? driving me crazy 😵‍💫

Hey OP, how long have you been waiting for your payment? Might help to know the timeline
