SDI claim stuck after doctor uploaded certificate - how long to process?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I went through something similar last month. It took about 2 weeks after my doc uploaded the form for it to process. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before they actually process the claim. Might give you an idea of where things stand.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 I swear they lose half the forms uploaded to them. Keep pestering them, its the only way to get anything done

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI claims: 1. Always keep copies of everything you submit 2. Follow up weekly if you don't hear anything 3. Use the online portal to check status updates 4. If calling, try early mornings or late afternoons 5. Be persistent but polite with representatives 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member for help Hope this helps! The system can be frustrating, but don't give up.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just forget about our claims if they make it hard enough.

Hey OP, when exactly did your doctor upload the form? There might be a processing delay due to the recent system upgrade they did. I heard it's causing some backlog.
