EDD says they don't handle SDI for pay dispute - what to do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain! 😫 The EDD can be such a nightmare to deal with. Have you tried contacting the SDI office directly? They should be able to help you with any disputes related to disability insurance.

I've been there, buddy. The whole system is a mess. Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes there's more info there about your claim status and who to contact for specific issues.

Okay, let me break this down for you: 1. EDD and SDI are different programs, even though they're both run by the state. 2. EDD handles unemployment insurance, while SDI deals with disability insurance. 3. If you're disputing pay related to disability, you need to contact SDI directly. 4. Here's what you should do: - Call SDI at 1-800-480-3287 - Have your claim number ready - Explain your situation clearly - Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help 5. If you can't get through on the phone, try their online portal or send a written appeal. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school, but I got a response within a week when I faxed my dispute. Sometimes the old ways work best with these dinosaur systems lol

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/DOLxZQb92wM

have you tried going down to the local edd office? sometimes face-to-face works better then trying to navigate the phone systm

Bruh, the whole system is rigged against us. They make it so complicated on purpose so people just give up. Don't let them win! 😤

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape and get answers from these agencies.

Oof, sounds rough buddy. Hang in there! 🤞
