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

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my disability payments. Has anyone else experienced delays or problems getting their money? I'm not sure what to do and could really use some advice.

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.

Calling is a nightmare 😫 I swear they purposely make it impossible to reach anyone

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda steep just to talk to someone

I get the skepticism, but it seriously saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Can confirm, I used it last week and finally got my issue resolved. Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

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!

It's been about 3 weeks now. I know some people have been waiting longer, but I'm starting to get really worried about bills piling up

Gotcha, thanks for the info. That's definitely longer than it should take. Def try calling if you haven't already
