SDI benefits suddenly stopped - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my SDI benefits. They suddenly stopped and I'm not sure why. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My SDI benefits stopped last month without any warning. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling EDD? That's usually the first step, but good luck getting through...

Calling EDD is like trying to win the lottery these days 🙄 I've been trying for weeks!

fr fr, their phone lines are a joke. I swear they have one person working the phones for the whole state 🤡

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

100% legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

How long did you have to wait for the callback?

It took about 2 hours for me, but beats spending all day hitting redial!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any messages or notices 2. Make sure all your paperwork is up to date 3. Try to contact your case worker directly if possible 4. If all else fails, reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through Don't give up! The system is a mess rn but keep pushing and you'll get it sorted out.

This happened to me last year. Turns out my doctor forgot to submit some paperwork. Double check with your healthcare provider to make sure everything's been sent in properly.

Doctors can be so flaky with paperwork 🙄 Always gotta stay on top of them!

Anyone else feel like the whole SDI system is held together with duct tape and prayers? 😂 It's 2023, why is this still so complicated?
