SDI payments delayed for 2+ months, no payments received since claim start. Help!

I found a way to solve SDI payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xhrF070ytU

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat a few months ago. It took me almost 3 months to get my first payment. The system is so broken 😤

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep calling until you get through to a real person.

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 what you need to do to try and resolve your SDI payment delay: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact SDI, including dates, times, and any reference numbers. 2. Check your online account: Make sure all your information is up to date and there are no pending tasks or requests for additional information. 3. Contact your healthcare provider: Ensure they've submitted all necessary medical certifications. 4. Reach out to your local state representative or senator: They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with state agency issues. 5. File a formal complaint: If all else fails, file a complaint with the Department of Industrial Relations. 6. Consider legal aid: There are non-profit organizations that provide free legal assistance for SDI issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system can be frustrating, but keep pushing until you get your payments.

have u checked ur bank info on the SDI website? I had a similar isue and it turned out my direct deposit info was wrong 🤦‍♀️

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a problem with my claim that no one bothered to tell me about. Keep calling and don't give up!

SDI is such a joke these days. They're probably using our money to fund their lavish office parties while we're here struggling to pay rent. 🙄

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

2 months is nothing, try 6 months! 😭 I'm about ready to give up on this whole process.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now - filed my claim 10 weeks ago and still haven't seen a penny. It's absolutely maddening when you're dealing with a disability and then have to stress about money on top of it. I've been following some of the advice here about calling early in the morning and documenting everything. One thing that helped me was creating a spreadsheet to track all my calls, reference numbers, and what each person told me. At least that way I have a clear record when I finally do get through to someone who can actually help. Hang in there - we shouldn't have to go through this but we're not alone in the struggle.
