SDI claim issues - need advice on dealing with State Disability Insurance delays

Ugh, SDI can be such a pain to deal with. What specific problem are you having? I've been through the wringer with them, so maybe I can help.

SDI is a mess rn. I've been waiting for 2 months and still nothing. Good luck getting anyone on the phone too 🙄

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

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Keep copies of all forms, medical records, and correspondence. 2. Be persistent. If you can't get through on the phone, keep trying at different times. 3. Use the online system as much as possible. It's not perfect, but it's often faster than waiting for mail. 4. If your doctor's office is slow with paperwork, stay on top of them. Your claim can't move forward without it. 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative if you're really stuck. They sometimes can help push things along. Hope this helps someone! We're all in the same boat here. 🚣‍♀️

has anyone else noticed that the SDI website is down like every other day? how r we supposed to check our claims if we cant even login smh

Unpopular opinion: SDI isn't that bad if you know how to navigate it. I've had two claims go through smoothly. AMA if you need help!

Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand the SDI forms? 🤔 I'm bout ready to go back to work injured just to avoid this headache
