SDI deposit delay: No payment after 14 days, what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my benefits deposit. Usually, I get my deposit every 14 days like clockwork, but this time it's been longer and I haven't seen anything hit my account. I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced this lately? I'm planning to call and talk to an agent about it, but I wanted to check here first to see if this is a widespread issue or just me. Any advice on what I should ask when I get through to someone?

For anyone dealing with benefit deposit issues, Claimyr can be a great shortcut to reaching an agent quickly. The service navigates phone menus and holds for you, connecting you directly when an agent is available. Its $20 fee might seem steep, especially considering free access should be our right. However, for those struggling with long wait times and needing urgent resolution, Claimyr offers a practical solution. It's important though to weigh the cost against the necessity and urgency of your issue. Meanwhile, keeping your information up-to-date, monitoring messages on your online account, and documenting any interactions remains key. Persistency, as many have echoed here, is crucial when addressing these challenges with benefit systems.

Ugh, I feel you. The system's been a mess lately. I had a similar issue last month. When you call, make sure to ask if there's been any changes to the payment schedule or if there's a hold on your account for some reason. Good luck!

•I feel like I have to ask those questions every time I call. Is it just me or does it seem like they're always changing something?

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'll def check my online account again and ask about reviews when I call. Fingers crossed it's just a temporary glitch 🤞

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a 'review' on my account that delayed things. Definitely call and ask if there's any pending reviews or issues. The wait times are brutal tho, be prepared to be on hold forever 😫

•I was on hold for nearly an hour last time I called. It's absurd.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster. Worth a shot if you're really stuck!

•That's actually a good idea. They might be able to cut through some of the red tape.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there are messages or updates there that explain delays. Also, double-check that your bank info hasn't changed. I once freaked out over a missing deposit only to realize I had updated my bank account and forgot to update it with them 🤦♀️

Pro tip: I found a way to get through to an actual person without waiting for hours. There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me so much time and frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

•$20 just to make a phone call? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken if we have to pay just to talk to someone 🤬

•I get it, but for me, it was worth every penny. Time is money, and I couldn't afford to sit on hold all day.

•Claimyr's concept is interesting, but I wish there were a free alternative. We're just trying to access our money, after all.

idk man, the whole system is a joke. I've been dealing with delays and issues for months now. It's like they WANT us to give up. Hang in there tho, we're all in the same sinking boat 🚢💀

Okay, listen up. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to know: 1. First, don't panic. Delays happen more often than you'd think. 2. Check your online account for any messages or alerts. Sometimes they'll post updates there about system-wide delays. 3. When you call, have all your info ready: claim ID, last 4 of SSN, and the date of your last deposit. 4. Ask specifically: - Is there a hold or review on my account? - Have there been any changes to the payment schedule? - Is there any additional information or documentation you need from me? - Can you see when my next payment is scheduled? 5. If they can't give you a clear answer, ask to speak with a supervisor. Be polite but firm. 6. Document everything: who you spoke to, when, and what they said. This can be helpful if you need to escalate later. 7. If you still don't get anywhere, consider reaching out to your local representative or the ombudsman's office. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them brush you off. Good luck!

•Adding to this: if you have any emails or texts from them, save those too. I had to prove I was told something once and thank god I kept the text.

I went through something similar a few months ago - it's so stressful when your regular deposit doesn't show up! In my case, it turned out there was an automatic review triggered in the system that delayed my payment by about a week. What helped me was calling first thing in the morning (like 8 AM sharp) when the wait times were shorter. Also, make sure to check if there are any holidays or state processing delays that might affect the schedule. Sometimes they batch process payments differently during certain periods. Hope you get it sorted out soon - the waiting is the worst part!

•That's really helpful to know about the automatic reviews - I had no idea that could happen! The 8 AM tip is smart too. I'm dealing with a similar delay right now and was wondering if it was just me or a system-wide thing. Did they give you any heads up about the review when it happened, or did you only find out when you called?

•@Val Rossi That s'such good advice about calling early! I never thought about how the time of day could make such a difference with wait times. The automatic review thing is concerning though - do they typically send any notification when that happens, or do you just have to figure it out by calling? I m'always worried I m'missing some important message buried in their system somewhere.

I'm dealing with the exact same issue right now - my regular deposit is about 3 days overdue and I'm getting really anxious about it. It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one, but also frustrating that this seems to be happening to multiple people. I've been putting off calling because I know the wait times are insane, but I think I need to bite the bullet and do it tomorrow. Has anyone noticed if there's been any pattern to these delays lately, like certain regions or claim types being affected more than others? I'm trying to figure out if this is just random system glitches or if there's something bigger going on with their processing systems.
