SDI keeps sending PFL info instead of disability - How to fix this mix-up?

I found a way to solve SDI disability claim mix-up issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF7uj-vXUvw

Ugh, I feel your pain. The SDI system is a total mess rn. I had a similar issue where they kept confusing my claim type. It took me weeks to get it straightened out. Have you tried sending them a message through your online account? Sometimes that works better than calling.

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

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push your case through faster.

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's not just you, OP. Thousands of people are dealing with this bs every day. We need to put pressure on our representatives to fix this broken system!

Here's what you need to do to get this sorted out: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, messages, and attempts to contact SDI. 2. Write a formal appeal letter explaining the mix-up between disability and PFL. Be clear and concise. 3. Send the appeal letter via certified mail so you have proof they received it. 4. Simultaneously, try to reach out through multiple channels: phone, online messaging, and even social media. 5. Contact your local assembly member or state senator's office for assistance. 6. If all else fails, consider filing a complaint with the Department of Industrial Relations. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up, and keep pushing until you get the correct benefits. It's your right, and you've already paid into the system. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of SDI 🎪🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up

I had the exact same problem last year. It turned out there was a glitch in their system that was automatically categorizing certain claims as PFL instead of disability. Keep pushing and don't let them gaslight you into thinking it's your mistake!

Have you tried reaching out to them on Twitter? Sometimes public shaming works wonders 😈
