SDI appeal status check - Need Spanish-speaking agent but keep getting transferred to English. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! The SDI system is a nightmare to navigate, especially if English isn't your first language. Have you tried asking for a Spanish-speaking agent as soon as someone picks up? Sometimes you gotta be really persistent.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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.

Have you tried looking for community organizations that help Spanish speakers navigate government services? They might be able to advocate for you or provide translation services.

omg the SDI office is THE WORST. i've been trying to get my claim sorted for months and its like talking to a brick wall. good luck with your appeal, youre gonna need it 😭

As someone who's been through the SDI appeal process, here's what I've learned: • Always ask for a case number or reference number for your appeal. This makes it easier to track. • Keep a log of every call you make, including date, time, and who you spoke to. • If possible, submit any additional documents online through their portal. • Be prepared to explain your situation clearly and concisely. • Don't be afraid to escalate to a supervisor if you're not getting help. • For Spanish speakers, try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon when there might be different staff available. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Hang in there, the process is frustrating but persistence usually pays off!

have u tried using google translate or smthn while on the phone? might help bridge the gap if u cant get a spanish speaker

I heard they recently updated their phone system. Supposedly it has better language options now. Anyone know if thats true?

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter or Facebook team can help or at least escalate your issue.
