SDI check MIA - filed claim but no payment received. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. Have you checked your online account to see if there's any updates or messages? Sometimes they need additional info and don't tell you directly.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!

Ive been waiting for 3 months now. This system is so broken its not even funny anymore. 🤮

Here's what I've learned from my experience with SDI and missing checks: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and account checks. 2. Double-check your claim details. Sometimes a small error can hold things up. 3. Use the online portal to send a message. It's slow, but you'll eventually get a response. 4. If you can, visit an EDD office in person. Bring all your documentation. 5. Contact your state representative. They have liaisons who can escalate your case. 6. Check if your employer submitted all necessary info. Sometimes they drop the ball. 7. Be persistent but polite. The system is overwhelmed, but the people trying to help are doing their best. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but keep at it!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, the SDI system might as well be run on windows 95

I heard they're super backed up because of the pandemic still. Might just need to wait it out, unfortunately.

Not sure if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out my doctor hadn't submitted some required paperwork. Might be worth checking with them to make sure everything's been sent in properly.
