SDI claim stuck after 3+ weeks - no payment, no updates. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my SDI claim. It's been over 3 weeks since my waiting period ended, and I still haven't received any payment. I filed everything online and it seemed to be approved, but now I'm just stuck waiting. I haven't gotten any notices or requests for more information. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have to try a few days in a row, but it's your best shot at getting a human on the line.

Calling is useless, I've been trying for weeks and can never get through. The system is broken šŸ¤”

I found a method to 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 online account? Sometimes they update the status there without sending a notice.

Listen up, folks. I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what you need to know: ā€¢ First, double-check your online account. Sometimes info gets updated there without any notification. ā€¢ If that's a dead end, start calling. Yes, it sucks, but it's often necessary. Call right when they open for the best chance. ā€¢ If you can't get through, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter team is surprisingly helpful. ā€¢ Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online update. You might need it later. ā€¢ If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but you'll get there. Good luck!

Plot twist: I just checked my account and they had processed everything this morning! Keep checking, folks. Sometimes the system works... eventually.
