SDI claim status MIA - How to get payment info when no one answers?

I found a way to solve SDI claim payment status delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Rc6SpTARc

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been trying to get info on my claim for weeks now. It's like they've gone radio silent or something. Have you tried checking the online portal? Sometimes they update stuff there before actually contacting you.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push things along. Worth a shot!

I'm in the exact same situation. been waiting for 2 months now with no updates. its ridiculous how they expect us to survive with no income and no information. the whole system needs an overhaul

Here's what I've learned after dealing with SDI for the past 6 months: • Be persistent: Call every day if you have to. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. • Document everything: Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. • Use multiple contact methods: Phone, email, online portal, even snail mail if you have to. • Check for any missing documents: Sometimes they're waiting on something and don't bother to tell you. • Consider reaching out to your local representatives or the SDI ombudsman. • Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to SDI claims. Sometimes other claimants have insider tips. • If all else fails, consider filing a complaint with the state insurance commissioner. Remember, it's your money and you're entitled to it. Don't give up!

anyone else notice that the SDI website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Hey OP, have you checked if your employer submitted all the necessary paperwork? Sometimes the holdup is on their end and SDI won't tell you that directly.

I heard a rumor that they're updating the SDI system soon to make it more efficient. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?
