Ugh, appeals are the worst. I had to do one last year and it was such a headache. Make sure you have all your paperwork in order before you start. And I mean ALL of it. They'll ask for stuff you didn't even know existed.

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/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's a step-by-step guide for appealing an SDI claim: 1. Gather all relevant documents (medical records, work history, etc.) 2. Write a clear, concise appeal letter explaining why you believe the decision was incorrect 3. Include any new evidence that supports your case 4. Submit your appeal within 30 days of receiving the denial notice 5. Keep copies of everything you send 6. Follow up regularly on the status of your appeal Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up if you believe you're entitled to benefits!

have you tried contacting your local assemblymember or state senator? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape

ugh im in the same boat. been trying to get this sorted for MONTHS. the whole system is broken af 😤

Pro tip: keep a log of every interaction you have with SDI. Date, time, who you spoke to, what was said. It'll come in handy if things get messy.

Anyone else notice that the SDI website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙃

Hey OP, what specific reason did they give for denying your claim? Might help us give more targeted advice.
