SDI claim filed weeks ago, no response. Anyone else experiencing delays?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed my claim over a month ago and still radio silence. The waiting game is killing me 😫

Here's what I've learned from my experience with disability claims: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all your paperwork and medical records. 2. Follow up regularly. Try calling at least once a week. 3. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to be a squeaky wheel to get attention. 4. Check your online account for updates if you have one. 5. Consider reaching out to your local representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things. 6. Make sure you've submitted all required forms. Sometimes delays happen because of missing information. Hang in there, OP. The process can be slow, but don't give up!

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

have you checked your mail carefully? sometimes they send requests for additional info that look like junk mail. i almost missed mine and it woulda delayed my claim even more

The disability system is a joke. I've been fighting with them for months. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🤡

Anyone else notice that claims filed after covid seem to take way longer? Or is it just me?

Pro tip: if you can, submit everything online. It usually processes faster than paper forms.
