SDI payments stopped since Oct 2024, recertified but still no money. Help!

I found a way to solve SDI payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0nFak_iOzM

Ugh, that sucks! I've been dealing with SDI delays too, but not for that long. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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 a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

This is ridiculous. The system is so broken. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. 🤬

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there are messages or updates there that can give you more info about whats going on with your claim.

I hate to say it, but you might want to consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes have ways to expedite these things when the system fails us.

Here's what I know about SDI payment delays based on my experience and research: 1. Recertification can sometimes cause delays, especially if there's any discrepancy between the new info and your original claim. 2. The end of the year/beginning of new year can slow things down due to budget changes and system updates. 3. Sometimes claims get flagged for review randomly, which can cause long delays. 4. If your employer hasn't submitted all the required info, that can hold things up. 5. System glitches happen more often than they admit. What you can do: - Keep calling. Use the tip about calling right at opening time. - Check your online account daily for updates. - Make sure your doctor's office submitted everything correctly. - Contact your employer to ensure they've submitted all necessary info. - Reach out to your state rep as others have suggested. - Consider using a paid service to get through on the phone if you can afford it. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of SDI 🎪🤡 where the rules are made up and your needs don't matter

Ive been in the same boat. It took me threatening legal action to finally get my payments. Not saying you should do that, but sometimes you gotta play hardball.

Question for the OP: Has your condition changed at all since the original claim? Sometimes even small changes can throw a wrench in the whole process.

guys. i know this sounds crazy. but has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading them online? I did this out of desperation and it actually worked faster.
