SDI only paid 9 days instead of approved 14 - how to fix?
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my disability payments. I was approved for 14 days, but I only received payment for 9 days. My doctor signed me off until next year, and all the paperwork should be on file. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get this resolved? I'm worried about missing out on those extra days of pay.

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried calling them? Be prepared to wait on hold forever tho 🙄

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have better luck getting through.

Calling is useless these days. I spent 3 hours on hold last week and got disconnected 😡

Check your online account if you haven't already. Sometimes there's info there about why payments are different than expected.

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

True, but consider how much your time is worth. For me, it was totally worth it to avoid the headache.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your paperwork. Make sure the dates on your doctor's note match what you're claiming. 2. Log into your online account and look for any messages or notices about your claim. 3. If you can't find anything there, you'll need to contact them directly. Try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon for shorter wait times. 4. If you can't get through by phone, send a secure message through your online account. Be specific about the discrepancy. 5. Keep a record of all your attempts to contact them. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system. Took forever to get it sorted, but I eventually got my missing days paid. Hang in there!

The whole system is broken af. They need to hire more people or upgrade their tech or something. Its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're owed.
