SDI payments suddenly stopped, can't reach anyone - surgery cancelled!

Man, that sucks. I've been there too. SDI is a nightmare to deal with. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works better.

I feel your pain. SDI is the worst. Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

Omg, I'm in the exact same boat! My payments stopped 3 weeks ago and I can't get anyone on the phone. It's so frustrating. I hope you get through soon!

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 you need to do to get your SDI payments back on track: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your calls, including dates, times, and any info you receive. 2. Check your online account: Make sure all your info is up to date and there are no pending forms or requests. 3. Fax your documents: Sometimes faxing can be faster than mailing or uploading online. 4. Contact your healthcare provider: Ensure they've submitted all necessary paperwork. 5. Reach out to your local assemblymember or state senator: They can often help expedite cases. 6. Be persistent: Keep calling, even if it's frustrating. Try different times of day. 7. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up!

have u tried emailing them? sometimes that works better than calling

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. SDI is a joke and it's failing the people who need it most. Time for a change!

ugh SDI is the WORST. took me 3 months to get my claim sorted. hang in there OP!

Have you checked if there's an SDI office near you? Sometimes you can get better help in person.
