SDI deposited $488 but it's missing, surgeon can't submit docs online, might have to cancel surgery due to low payments. Help!

I found a way to solve SDI payment and documentation issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uopIxnHaupA

Ugh, that sucks! I've been dealing with SDI for months and it's a total nightmare. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I found a way to actually 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

Regarding the forms, there should be a specific form for your doctor to fill out. It's called the DE 2501 I think. Your doctor needs to mail it in, not you. Make sure they include all the necessary medical info!

I'm in the same boat with the low payments. It's ridiculous how little they give us. Have you looked into any local assistance programs? Some cities have emergency rent relief or food banks that might help.

OK, let me break this down for you: 1. Missing deposit: Call SDI ASAP. Sometimes there are glitches in their system. Keep all your notices as proof. 2. Low payments: Unfortunately, SDI payments are based on your past wages. Not much you can do to increase it. 3. Doctor's documentation: Your doctor needs to fill out form DE 2501. They MUST mail it. You can't do it for them. 4. Cancelling surgery: Talk to your doctor first. There might be other options or payment plans available. 5. Doctor's password issues: Tell them to call SDI's technical support line. They have a separate number for medical offices. Hope this helps! Hang in there, dealing with SDI is a pain but you'll get through it.

have u tried faxing the docs instead? sometimes that works better than mail

This whole system is broken af. We need to organize and demand changes. Who's with me? ✊
