SDI payment delays - need advice for calling about missing payments
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my State Disability Insurance payments. I haven't received my expected payments and I'm not sure why there's a delay. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm planning to call them to find out what's going on. Any advice on what I should ask or how to approach this conversation would be really helpful!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with SDI payment issues for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Here's what I'd suggest asking: 1. Ask about the status of your specific payments 2. Find out if there are any issues with your claim 3. See if they need any additional info from you 4. Ask about the timeline for resolving the issue 5. Get details on how to prevent future delays Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

This is solid advice! I'd also recommend asking for a reference number for the call. It helps if you need to follow up later.

I found a method to 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 too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it seriously saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo. Give it a shot if you're desperate!

Hang in there! I know it sucks, but they usually come through eventually. Have you tried reaching out to your local rep? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

Anyone else notice that the SDI system seems to glitch out every other month? It's like clockwork at this point 🙄
