SDI claim pending for 2 weeks - normal processing time? When to start bonding claim?

I found a way to solve SDI claim processing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZgiqFYW7WI

Ugh, I feel ya. I submitted mine like 3 weeks ago and still nothing. The waiting game is killing me 😫

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

For the bonding claim, you should start it about 2 weeks before your expected leave date. But heads up, processing times are all over the place right now.

Pro tip: keep checking your online account daily. Sometimes they update the status there before sending any notifications. Also, make sure you've submitted all required docs!

I've been through this process before, so here's what I know: • Processing times vary wildly, but 2-6 weeks is typical • Make sure ALL your paperwork is in order. Any missing docs can delay things • Keep an eye on your online account AND your mail. Sometimes they communicate through one but not the other • For bonding claims, start the process about 2 weeks before your leave date • If you haven't heard anything after 4 weeks, try calling (good luck with that though) • Sometimes reaching out to your local assembly member can help speed things up Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating, but you'll get through it!

lol welcome to SDI hell. grab a seat, we'll be here a while 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing their docs instead of mailing? I heard it might be faster but idk
