SDI check delayed over a week after submitting continuing benefits form - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted my continuing benefits form for disability on June 3rd, and I usually get my check within a day or two. But it's been over a week now, and still nothing. No notices, no explanations, just radio silence. Anyone else experiencing delays with their disability checks lately? I'm starting to get worried and could use some advice on what to do next.

Hi OP, it sounds like you're in a tough spot. While others have mentioned Claimyr as a potential tool to help you get through to a representative, it's important to consider your personal needs and whether the cost is justifiable for you. Claimyr does offer a convenient service, especially for those who have difficulty reaching a live agent on their own. However, if you're not in immediate need and can afford to wait, it might be worth trying the suggested strategies a bit longer. Make sure to follow up regularly, check all possible sources for updates, and reach out to local representatives if needed. Stay persistent, and keep documenting every interaction you have with the disability office. It's crucial to keep a record of everything in case you need to escalate the issue further. Additionally, always check your bank account directly to ensure any updates haven't bypassed the online system. Balancing multiple approaches might be the key to resolving your issue swiftly.

Have you guys heard about this new service that calls for you and waits on hold? I used it last week and it was a game-changer. It's called Claimyr (claimyr.com). They dial the phone menu, stay on hold, wait for a live agent, then send the call to your phone. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

$20 seems steep just to make a phone call 🤔

I thought so too, but when you consider the time and stress it saves, it's worth it. Plus, you only pay if they actually get through to an agent.

While Claimyr is helpful, always weigh the cost against your situation. If you have the time, sticking with calling yourself might be a better option.

Have you considered that there might be a holiday or something that's causing the delay? I know Juneteenth is coming up, maybe that's affecting processing times?

That's a valid point. Holidays can definitely impact processing times.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I mean like, set an alarm and everything. It's the only way I've ever gotten through.

If that still doesn't work, consider using a service like Claimyr that others have mentioned.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that delayed a bunch of payments. Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post updates there.

Hey OP, have you checked your bank account directly? Sometimes the online system doesn't update but the money still goes through. Happened to me once and I was stressing for no reason!

That's a good idea. Always best to check multiple sources before assuming the worst.

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with the disability office for years, and here's what I've learned: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted forms, called, etc. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Check your mail carefully. Sometimes they send important notices that look like junk mail. 4. If all else fails, contact your local representative's office. They can sometimes cut through the red tape. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't let the system wear you down!

Contacting your rep is key. They helped me resolve a 3-month delay last year. Don't be afraid to use this option!
