SDI claim update: Disconnected calls and radio silence. Any tips?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The SDI system is a nightmare rn. I've been trying to get an update on my claim for weeks. Have you tried calling first thing in the morning? Sometimes that works better.

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 tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes its faster than calling.

SDI is the worst! I've been waiting for 3 months to get my claim approved. The whole system needs an overhaul. 🤬

Here's what I've learned about getting SDI updates after dealing with this for way too long: • Try calling right when they open at 8am • Use the online portal to check your claim status regularly • If you can't get through, try emailing them (response times vary) • Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact them • If all else fails, contact your local state representative for help It's a frustrating process, but persistence is key. Don't give up! And remember, once approved, payments are usually retroactive to your filing date.

lol good luck. SDI is where claims go to die. I'm convinced they just ignore us and hope we'll go away 🤡

Has anyone had luck with the SDI mobile app? I heard they launched one recently but idk if it's any good.
