SDI claim issues: No payment yet, need help with re-certification and form confusion

Ugh, I feel your pain. The disability system is such a mess rn. I had to call like 50 times before I got through to someone who could help me recertify. It's ridiculous how hard they make it for people who are already struggling 🤦‍♂️

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone without all the hassle. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

About that form - make sure its the right one before you have your doc fill it out. I made that mistake and had to go back and forth with my doctor's office for weeks. Such a headache 😫

Hey OP, I've been through this process a few times. Here's what you need to know: • Re-certification over the phone is possible, but it depends on your specific situation. Some cases require written documentation. • The separate form is likely the 'Certification of Continued Disability' form. It's usually pink and is needed to extend benefits beyond the initial period. • Make sure your doctor fills out every section completely. Even small omissions can delay your claim. • Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them. • If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via their online portal. Sometimes it's faster. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol good luck. been waiting 3 months for my claim to process. system is broken af 🤡

Anyone else notice how the rules for disability keep changing? I swear they make it more complicated every year just to discourage people from claiming 🤔

Hey, has anyone had luck with the online system? I've been trying to log in for days but it keeps giving me an error message. Is it just me or is the website total garbage?
