SDI back pay after winning EDD court case - how to get owed benefits?

Has anyone tried the SDI mobile app? I heard it's supposed to make things easier but idk

have u tried going to an EDD office in person? sometimes face-to-face works better

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the EDD system? This is ridiculous.

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. (https://claimyr.com

Ugh, the EDD is such a nightmare to deal with. I've been in a similar situation and it took forever to get my money. Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather all your court documents and any correspondence from EDD 2. Call SDI and explain your situation clearly 3. Request back payment for the entire period you were on disability 4. Be prepared to follow up multiple times Good luck, and don't give up!

Okay, listen up. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to do: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, email, letter - keep it all. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Use the magic words: "I'd like to file a formal complaint." This often gets you to a supervisor. 4. If all else fails, contact your state representative or senator. They have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. 5. Consider legal aid if it drags on too long. Some offer free services for cases like this. Remember, you're entitled to this money. Don't let them wear you down. Stay strong and keep fighting! 💪

To effectively approach the SDI about your back pay, you should leverage multiple strategies. First, ensure all your documentation is in order, including court rulings and EDD communications. Contact SDI directly via phone and email; use a clear, polite, and concise approach. Utilize services like Claimyr for more efficient phone connections if needed, but be mindful of the cost. Stay persistent in your follow-up, and don't hesitate to file a formal complaint if progress stalls. Additionally, alerting your local state representative can add pressure to expedite the process. While Claimyr has proven beneficial for some, free methods should be exhausted first. Advocate for yourself and be determined—these benefits are your right, and it's crucial to stay patient and strong while navigating the system.

have you tried emailing them? sometimes that works better than calling. heres a template you can use: Subject: Request for Back Payment of Disability Benefits Dear SDI Agent, I am writing to request back payment for my disability benefits. I was on disability from [start date] to [end date] but didnt receive payments due to a court case initiated by EDD. I won the case and need my owed benefits paid retroactively. Please let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks, [Your Name]

Hang in there, OP! We're all rooting for you. Don't let the system grind you down. 💪💯

pro tip: if u get someone on the phone, ask for their employee ID number. makes it easier to follow up later

lol good luck. ive been trying to get my benefits for 6 months now. EDD is a joke 🤡

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!
