SDI second payment delayed since July, can't apply for PFL. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat! Applied in August, got first payment, then radio silence. It's so frustrating 😤 Have you tried calling them? I've been trying for weeks but can't get through.

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. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD. 2. Send a written request for update via certified mail. This creates a paper trail. 3. Contact your local state representative. They can often help push things along. 4. If all else fails, file a complaint with the state labor board. Don't give up! The system is broken, but persistence pays off. Good luck!

have u checked ur online account? sometimes they post updates there that dont get mailed out

This happened to me last year. Turns out they needed additional info but never notified me. Check your spam folder too!

The EDD is a joke. They're probably using our money to fund their lavish lifestyles while we struggle to pay rent. 🤡🤡🤡

Have you considered reaching out to a state senator or assembly member? They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with EDD issues. It's literally their job to help you!

OP, what was the exact date of your last payment? There might be a system-wide glitch affecting claims from that period.

I feel for you, man. The system is so broken. Hang in there and keep fighting! 💪
