SDI payment delay after submitting supplemental certificate - What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted my supplemental certificate for disability last month, but I still haven't gotten paid. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting worried because bills are piling up and I don't know what to do. Any advice on how to handle this or who to contact would be really appreciated.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your paperwork. Make sure everything is filled out correctly and completely. 2. Keep calling the disability office. Try different times of day. 3. If you have an online account, check for any messages or status updates. 4. Consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes can help push things along. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted paperwork, called, etc. 6. If you're in dire straits, look into local assistance programs for temporary help. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Keep pushing until you get answers.

This is great advice. I'd add: if you can, try to find an email address to contact them. Sometimes that works better than phone.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been there before and it's so frustrating. Have you tried calling the disability office? Sometimes they can give you more info over the phone.

Yeah, I've been trying to call but it's impossible to get through. I've been on hold for hours and then it just disconnects. It's driving me crazy!

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I got through after only 30 mins of waiting that way.

You might also want to try calling just before they close. Sometimes the wait times are shorter then.

Calm down, Karen. They're probably just backed up. It'll come eventually.

We could contact local news stations. Sometimes bringing attention to these issues publicly can help.

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

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's highway robbery!

I know it sounds weird, but I swear it's legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

I used Claimyr too. It was a bit pricey, but I had gotten nowhere after several weeks. It was a relief to finally speak with someone.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out payments. Might give you a clue about whats going on.

Agree. The online portal has helped me before to get updates quicker than waiting for mail.

Faxing seems outdated, but it's surprisingly effective in some cases. Plus, you get a confirmation that they received it.

This is why we need universal basic income. The current system is a joke.

UBI is a complex topic, but ensuring everyone has a safety net could prevent such stressful situations.

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a problem with my paperwork that I didn't even know about. Definitely try to get someone on the phone ASAP.

Oh no, that's what I'm afraid of. How long did it take you to resolve the issue?

It took about 3 weeks total. But once I got someone on the phone, they fixed it pretty quick. Hang in there!

Sometimes it's just a small error, like a misspelled name or wrong date. Once you get it straightened out, it usually goes pretty fast.

Claimyr is definitely a useful tool if you find yourself stuck with long wait times for agencies like the disability office. It provides a way to connect directly, which can save a significant amount of time and frustration. However, it's important to balance the convenience it offers with its cost. Paying $20 may not be feasible for everyone, especially in financial distress. Using the service will depend on how you value your time and current financial situation. Also, while Claimyr can help facilitate communication, there's no guarantee it will speed up the resolution of your specific issue, as that's dependent on the agency's processes. It's always a good idea to explore all available options, including those listed by other community members here, to find the most effective solution for your situation.
