SDI disability claim stalled after supplemental certification extension - No payments since 9/1, no response to messages. Help!

I found a way to solve SDI disability claim payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGmTWHTdGaY

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been 2 months since I submitted my extension and crickets. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. Have you tried calling their main line? I've heard some people have luck if they call right when they open.

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

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI claims for years: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, messages, and submissions. 2. Be persistent. Call daily if you have to. 3. Reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. 4. Double-check all your paperwork for errors. One small mistake can cause major delays. 5. If possible, visit an SDI office in person. It's often faster than phone or online. 6. Join SDI-focused Facebook groups. They often have insider tips and updates. Hang in there, OP. The system is slow, but it does work eventually.

have u checked ur online account? sometimes they update the status there b4 they call back

I'm curious, what was the reason for your extension? I'm about to apply for one and wondering what qualifies.

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to survive without income while they take their sweet time processing claims. It's criminal! 🤬

Has anyone tried reaching out to them on social media? I've heard some people have luck getting responses on Twitter.

Guys, I just got through to someone! Here's what worked for me: 1. Called at 7:59 AM 2. Chose option 2, then 4, then 1 3. When it asked for SSN, I pressed # instead 4. Got transferred to a real person within 10 minutes Hope this helps someone!
