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

I found a way to solve disability payment delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOOS9EObKU0

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.

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.

The system is so broken rn 😤 I've been waiting on my payment for 2 months! This is ridiculous. We need to do something about this.

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

Oof, sounds rough buddy. Sending good vibes your way 🙏

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.

Hey OP, any updates? Did you manage to get through to anyone?

have u tried faxing ur docs? I no it sounds old school but sometimes it gets to them faster than mail

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

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.

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.

I went through something similar last year and it was incredibly stressful. Here's what helped me get through it: First, definitely keep trying to call - early morning right when they open (usually 8 AM) tends to have shorter wait times. I also had luck calling during lunch hours when fewer people might be calling. Second, if you have any local disability advocacy groups or legal aid societies in your area, they often have direct contacts or know the best ways to navigate the system. Some even offer free assistance. Third, document everything - dates you called, reference numbers, who you spoke with. This creates a paper trail that can be helpful if you need to escalate. Lastly, don't hesitate to contact your state assemblymember or senator's office. They have caseworkers specifically for situations like this and can sometimes get answers when individual calls don't work. I know it's frustrating when you're depending on these payments. Hang in there - most of these delays do get resolved, it just takes persistence. Let us know how it goes!

I'm so sorry you're going through this - payment delays are incredibly stressful when you're counting on that income. Based on what others have shared here, it sounds like there might be a few different issues that could be causing the delay. One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is checking if your supplemental certificate was actually received and processed. Sometimes documents get lost in the mail or there are processing backlogs that aren't immediately obvious. If you submitted it by mail, you might want to call and specifically ask them to confirm they have your supplemental certificate on file and when it was processed. Also, I'd recommend keeping a close eye on your online account (if you have one) - sometimes there are messages or requests for additional information that you might miss if you're only checking occasionally. The advice about calling early in the morning is solid, but I'd also suggest trying to call on different days of the week. Mondays and Fridays tend to be busier, so Tuesday-Thursday might give you better luck getting through. Keep pushing and don't give up. These situations are frustrating but they do get resolved. Wishing you the best of luck!
