SDI claim vanished from EDD app - need advice on contacting rep and expected payment
My SDI claim disappeared from the EDD app and I need to talk to a representative about my claim being active and when to expect payment. I've gathered all my confirmation emails and documents related to the claim, including the doctor's note. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have advice on what to ask when I finally get through to an agent?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My claim vanished last week and I've been trying to get through to someone ever since. It's so frustrating! 😤 Make sure to ask them to verify your claim status and get a specific date for when you can expect payment. Good luck!

Going on two weeks now. This system is such a joke. I swear they make it difficult on purpose 🙄

Have either of you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes the app glitches but the website still shows it

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's highway robbery! The government should make this easier for free 😡

I get the skepticism, but it seriously saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

It took about 2 hours, but I just went about my day and they called when an agent was ready. Way better than being stuck on hold myself

Here's what you need to do: 1. Take screenshots of your claim before it disappeared (if you have them) 2. Gather all emails and documents related to your claim 3. Write down your claim number, filing date, and last payment received 4. Prepare a list of specific questions: - What is the current status of my claim? - Why did it disappear from the app? - When can I expect my next payment? - Is there any additional information you need from me? 5. Be persistent and polite when you get through Remember, the representatives are dealing with a lot right now. Stay calm and have all your info ready. Good luck!

I heard they're doing system updates this week. Maybe that's why claims are disappearing? Anyone else hear about this?

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in ther system and my claim got flagged for review. Took 3 weeks to sort out but I eventually got backpay. Hang in there!
