SDI payment late, can't log in to account. Anyone else?
I was supposed to get my SDI payment on Friday, but it's still not here. I can't even log into my account to check what's going on. Got a text about some notice, but the website won't let me in. Anyone else dealing with this? It's so frustrating!

Ugh, I feel you. The SDI system is a total mess rn. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

Yeah, I've been trying to call all day. It's impossible to get through! 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins of hold time that way.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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. Is it legit?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 2 hours for me, but beats spending all day trying to get through!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes SDI emails end up there. Also, try clearing your browser cache and cookies before logging in again.

This is why we need to FIRE NEWSOM! The whole system is broken and nobody's fixing it. 🤬

Chill, dude. This isn't a political forum. OP just needs help with their claim.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a problem with my bank info. Double-check that all your payment details are correct in your account (when you can log in). might save you some headache later.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely check that once I can get into my account.

Here's what I'd do: 1. Keep trying to log in, but use different browsers or devices. 2. Call first thing in the morning when they open. 3. If you can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to connect you. 4. Check your mail carefully - sometimes they send important notices by post. 5. If you have a disability legal aid organization in your area, they might be able to help or advise. 6. Document everything - dates you tried to log in, call attempts, any messages you've received. Hang in there! The system sucks, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

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

I didn't even know that was an option! How do I find my assembly member?

Just google "find my california assembly member" and enter your address. Their office usually has a form for constituent services. Good luck!
