SDI Payment Delays: Every Continued Claim Form Causing Issues?
Hey everyone, I'm having a really frustrating issue with my disability payments. Every time I send in a continued claim form, there's a delay in payment. It's happening with every single form I submit. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what could be causing it or how to fix it? I'm getting worried about my finances at this point.

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been dealing with the same issue for months now. It's like they're purposely trying to make our lives harder š Have you tried calling them? That's what I had to do to finally get some answers.

I've tried calling so many times, but I can never get through. It's so frustrating! How long did you have to wait on hold?

Honestly, I was on hold for HOURS. It's ridiculous. But I finally got through and they told me there was an issue with my account that was causing the delays. Might be worth the wait if you can manage it.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through in like 20 minutes that way!

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

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

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

Can confirm, I used it too. Felt like a lifesaver when I was desperate to talk to someone.

Have you checked if there's any missing information on your forms? Sometimes even a tiny mistake can cause delays. Double-check everything before sending it in!

This is why the whole system needs an overhaul. It's 2023 and we're still dealing with these archaic processes. smh

Preach! š The amount of stress this causes people who are already dealing with disabilities is just cruel.

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what I've learned: ā¢ First, make sure you're filling out the form 100% correctly. Even small errors can cause delays. ā¢ Check the date you're submitting the form. If it's too early or too late, it can cause issues. ā¢ Make sure your doctor is submitting their part on time too. ā¢ If you've had any changes in your condition or work status, make sure that's clearly communicated. ā¢ Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send in. ā¢ If the delays continue, you might need to escalate. Try to get a claims specialist on the phone (easier said than done, I know). ā¢ Consider reaching out to your local state representative. Sometimes they can help push things along. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks, but you'll get through this!

Have you tried submitting your forms online instead of by mail? I switched to online submission and it seemed to speed things up a bit.

Same here. It's like they don't understand that people's lives depend on this. So stressful.
