SDI didn't pay last week of disability despite all docs submitted - help!

I found a way to solve disability payment delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27iANJexq-k

Ugh, classic bureaucracy mess-up. I've been there, buddy. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep bugging them until they fix it.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that didn't process the last week of claims properly. Here's what I did: 1. Kept calling (I know, it sucks) 2. Sent a detailed email through their online portal 3. Reached out to my local assembly member's office Eventually, option 3 worked best. The assembly member's staff has direct contacts and can often get things moving faster. Don't give up!

Have you checked if there were any holidays during that last week? Sometimes they mess up the calculations if there's a holiday involved. Just a thought! 🤔

OMG, I swear the system is designed to make us give up. 🤬 I've been fighting with them for months over a similar issue. Solidarity, friend. Keep pushing!

Hey, 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 faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes that gets their attention faster than online submissions. Just a thought!

This happened to me too! It turned out that even though my doctor sent the certification, it wasn't properly attached to my claim. Double-check that all your docs are actually linked in the system. Might save you some headache!

I went through something almost identical earlier this year! The gap between when payments stopped and when you actually returned to work is a red flag - that's exactly what happened to me. Here's what I learned: EDD sometimes has an automatic cutoff date in their system that doesn't match your actual return-to-work date. Even if all your paperwork is submitted correctly, their system might not have processed the extension properly. I'd recommend checking your online account to see if there's a "pending" status on that last week, and definitely document everything with screenshots. The assembly member suggestion from @Leo McDonald is spot on - that's ultimately what got mine resolved. Don't let them tell you it's "too late" to fix either, because it's their system error, not yours!

This is such a common issue and it's infuriating! I went through something similar last month. One thing that helped me was creating a timeline document with all the dates - when payments stopped, when you actually returned to work, when docs were submitted, etc. Then I included screenshots from my online account showing all the submitted paperwork. When I finally got through to someone (took forever), having everything organized like that made the call way more productive. They could see exactly what went wrong and fixed it within a few days. Also, if you have any confirmation emails or numbers from when you submitted the docs, save those too. The system glitches are real and having proof that you did everything right is your best defense. Hang in there! 💪

I'm dealing with something really similar right now! My payments also stopped before I actually went back to work, and it's been such a nightmare trying to get anyone on the phone. Reading through all these responses is actually giving me hope though - especially the assembly member suggestion and the timeline document idea. It's crazy how many of us are going through the exact same system glitch. @Skylar Neal, definitely try that assembly member route that @Leo McDonald mentioned - seems like that's been the most successful approach for people. And document everything with screenshots like others have said! We shouldn't have to become experts at navigating broken government systems, but here we are. Solidarity! 😤✊
