SDI payments stopped suddenly after August - no explanation from EDD. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My payments stopped last month with no explanation. Have you tried logging into your EDD account to see if there's any info there?

Have you received any letters or notices from EDD recently? Sometimes they send important info by mail that doesn't show up online.

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

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI payment issues: 1. Double-check your claim dates. Sometimes payments stop if your claim period ends. 2. Make sure all your medical certifications are up to date. 3. If you returned to work, even part-time, that can affect payments. 4. Check if there were any changes to your address or bank info. 5. Look for any pending forms or requests from EDD in your online account. If none of these apply, you might need to file an appeal. But definitely try to get someone on the phone first. Good luck!

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week when I faxed my issue

OMG I HATE THE EDD SO MUCH!!!! 🤬🤬🤬 been dealing with payment issues for 3 months now. This system is a JOKE

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling your local assemblymember's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push things along.

Anyone else notice that these issues always seem to happen around the end of the quarter? Makes me wonder if it's a system glitch or something 🤔

hey op, how long have u been on sdi? there's a max benefit period, might be worth checking if u've hit that
