Need help modifying SDI claim date due to extension - can't reach anyone!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through to them for weeks about my claim. It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits 🙄

I actually found a way to get through! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI claims: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Try calling right when they open or just before closing. 3. If possible, use multiple phones to increase your chances. 4. Be prepared with all your info when you do get through. 5. Consider reaching out to your local representative for help. 6. Check if there's an online portal where you can submit your request. 7. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, etc. Hope this helps! Don't give up, OP!

have you tried faxing? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week when I faxed my request

This whole system is a joke. They make it so hard to get what we're entitled to. It's like they're hoping we'll just give up 🤬

Quick question - when did you initially file your claim? There might be a waiting period before you can request modifications.

Pro tip: if u get through to ANY department, ask them to transfer u to the right one. Sometimes its easier to get through that way
