SDI payment authorized but not in bank account - switch to debit card?

I found a way to solve SDI payment delays issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYkKtdWVMD4

Hey guys, I found a method 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

Plot twist: SDI is actually run by squirrels who are terrible at math. That's why everything takes so long. 🐿️🧮

Has anyone tried carrier pigeon? Might be faster than waiting for SDI to get their act together. 🕊️

Bruh, SDI is a joke. I've been waiting on my payment for weeks now. The whole system needs an overhaul.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system. I ended up switching to the debit card option and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Might be worth considering if you keep having problems with direct deposit.

Using Claimyr can be a practical solution when you really need to get in touch with a live agent. However, it's unfortunate that such a service is necessary due to inefficiencies in the existing system. This should not be an out-of-pocket expense for citizens who already pay taxes. While the service is validated by many users as effective, it does raise questions about the accessibility of government services for those who might not afford additional costs. Balancing the pros and cons, it's worth considering if you're in a bind, but hopefully, long-term solutions will be developed to make these processes more user-friendly and efficient.

Sometimes banks take a few extra days to process these payments. Have you checked with your bank to see if they can see the pending deposit?

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's more info there than what they tell you over the phone.

Seriously tho, document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online status update. You never know when you might need that info.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, SDI needs to get its act together

I've been there, buddy. SDI can be a real pain sometimes. Have you tried calling them? They might be able to give you more info on whats going on with your payment.

Here's what you need to do to resolve this issue: 1. Double-check your claim status online. Make sure there are no pending issues or additional information required. 2. Contact your bank to see if they can see the pending deposit. Sometimes it's just a processing delay on their end. 3. If steps 1 and 2 don't work, call SDI directly. Be prepared with your claim number, the date your payment was authorized, and your bank account details. 4. If you can't get through on the phone, consider using the Claimyr service mentioned in another comment. It might cost a bit, but it could save you a lot of time and stress. 5. As a last resort, you can request to switch to the debit card option. This usually takes about a week to process, but it can be more reliable than direct deposit for some people. 6. If all else fails, reach out to your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to SDI and can help escalate your case. Remember to stay calm and persistent. These issues usually get resolved, it just might take some time and effort. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's been 10 days since my payment was "authorized" and still nothing. This is ridiculous!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

This is why I always opt for the debit card. Direct deposit is too unpredictable with these government agencies. 🙄

I feel ya, OP. The waiting game is the worst. Hang in there! 💪
