SDI payment delayed - missing docs or verification issues?

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check my online account. Did you end up finding any missing docs when you looked?

Yeah, turns out I forgot to upload a copy of my latest pay stub 🤦‍♂️ Once I sent that in, things moved pretty quickly. Def worth double-checking everything!

This happened to me too! The system is so confusing sometimes, I swear they make it hard on purpose 🙄

This happened to me too! The online portal can be so confusing sometimes. I wish they'd make it more user-friendly 🙄

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely follow these steps. Did you find that emailing after the call made a big difference?

Absolutely! It creates a paper trail and holds them accountable. Plus, if you have to call again, you can reference the previous conversation. It's saved my butt more than once!

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? That's highway robbery! 😤

I get the skepticism, but honestly, after spending hours trying to get through, it was worth every penny to me. Saved me a ton of time and stress.

Can you give more details about how it works? Do they guarantee you'll get through?

Sure! So basically, you choose the department you need to reach on their website, pay the fee, and then their system starts calling. It navigates the phone tree and waits on hold. When a real person picks up, it calls your phone and connects you. They don't guarantee it'll work every time, but if it doesn't, you can try again for free.

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

I was skeptical at first too, but it actually worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth it if you're desperate to get through.

Interesting. How long did you have to wait after using the service?

Not long at all. Maybe 30 minutes? Way better than the hours I spent trying to get through on my own.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely follow these steps. Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out 💯

This is gold 👌 Saving this for future reference!

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're trying to discourage us from claiming what we're entitled to.

Yeah but what can we do? It's not like complaining on reddit is gonna change anything lol

Maybe not, but at least we can help each other navigate this mess. Strength in numbers and all that 💪

How do you even find those numbers? They seem to keep them top secret 🕵️‍♂️

It's not easy, but sometimes you can find them buried on their website or by asking around in forums like this. I've had luck with asking for a 'escalation team' number too.

Preach! 🙌 Maybe we should start a petition or something?

Not a bad idea. Anyone know how to get that started? We could probably get a ton of signatures.

This! I always try to be the first caller of the day. Works like a charm.

I hadn't even thought of that! Do you know how I would go about contacting them?

Just google your district and 'assembly member'. Their office should have a contact form or phone number. They usually have staff dedicated to helping with state agency issues.

Can confirm this works. My assembly member's office helped me resolve an EDD issue last year. They have connections we don't!
