SDI application stuck due to doctor's note date mismatch - need advice ASAP

Ugh, I feel ya. The SDI system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue with dates not matching up. When you get through, just be super clear about the discrepancy and ask if it affects your claim. They might need you to submit an updated form or something. Good luck!

Here's a pro tip: I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting for hours. 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 saved me so much time and frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Listen up, folks. I've been through this rodeo before, so here's what you need to know about dealing with SDI and date discrepancies: • First, don't panic. This happens more often than you'd think. • Get all your paperwork in order. Have your initial application, doctor's note, and any other relevant docs ready. • When you call, be polite but firm. The person on the other end is probably dealing with a ton of cases. • Clearly explain the discrepancy between your reported date and the doctor's note. • Ask specifically: 1) Does this affect my claim? 2) What steps do I need to take to correct this? • If they say you need to submit a correction, ask for detailed instructions and get the agent's name and ID number. • Follow up with an email summarizing your call and the instructions you received. • Set a reminder to follow up if you don't hear back within a week. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let your claim fall through the cracks because of a simple date mix-up. You've got this! 💪

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? the system is broken af 🤡

Quick question - how long ago did you submit your application? I'm in the same boat and wondering what kind of wait times people are seeing these days.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up or at least get you more info about your claim status.

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy 🎉 where nothing makes sense and everything takes forever
