SDI payments missing for 7 weeks - last payment mid-July, no updates. What to do?

I found a way to solve SDI payments stopped without explanation, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBEnh8fe8uQ

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My payments stopped in August and I've been trying to get through to someone for weeks. It's so frustrating!

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your EDD online account for any notices or messages. Sometimes they require additional info and payments stop if you don't respond. 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. Missing even one can pause payments. 3. If everything looks good on your end, you NEED to speak with a rep. Keep calling, use the online contact form, or try that calling service someone mentioned. 4. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 5. If you can't get through, consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. 6. Check if there have been any policy changes. Sometimes they affect payments and aren't well communicated. Don't give up! The system is frustrating but persistence usually pays off. Good luck!

have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard it can work

This happened to me last year. Turns out they flagged my account for "potential fraud" for no reason. Took forever to sort out. Check if that might be your issue.

its ridiculous how broken the system is. were all just trying to survive here and they make it so dam difficult

Anyone else notice that this seems to happen a lot in July/August? Wonder if it's related to the fiscal year or something 🤔
