Struggling to get SDI claim update - any tips for reaching a human?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get an update on my claim for weeks now. It's like they've gone radio silent or something. Have you tried calling their main number?

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 for the past few months: 1. Be persistent. Keep calling and trying different times of day. 2. Have all your info ready when you call. They'll ask for your claim number, SSN, and other details. 3. Check your online account regularly for updates. 4. If you can, try to use their online messaging system. Sometimes it's faster than calling. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of when you called, who you spoke to, and what they said. 6. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same boat. 💪

Has anyone else noticed that their online system seems to be down like, ALL THE TIME lately? I swear, every time I try to log in, it's "undergoing maintenance" 🙄

I'm convinced SDI is run by a bunch of sloths on coffee breaks. How hard is it to pick up a dang phone?!

Guys, I hate to be that person, but have you considered just showing up at their office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get results.

Anyone else feel like they're playing a game of telephone with SDI? I swear, every time I manage to talk to someone, they give me completely different information.

Hey OP, what's your claim about? I'm curious if different types of claims are being processed faster than others.

I'm starting to think we need to organize some kind of mass protest or something. This is getting ridiculous. Who's with me? ✊
