SDI payment delay - filed claim but no money received. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my SDI payments. I filed a claim but haven't received any money yet. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do to get this resolved? I'm getting worried about bills piling up.

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been there and it suuucks. Here's what I did: 1. Gather all your claim info 2. Call SDI (good luck getting through lol) 3. Ask them specifically why there's a delay 4. Get them to give you exact steps to fix it 5. Follow up like crazy Stay on top of it and don't let them forget about you! 💪

This is solid advice. I'd add: keep a log of every call, including who you talked to and what they said. It helps if you need to escalate later.

Oh man, getting through is a whole other battle. I usually try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes works 🤷♂️

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money, ya know?

Ive been waiting 3 months for my first payment. This system is a joke. They expect us to live on air while they sit on our claims??? 🤬

3 months?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

No, I haven't. Didn't even know that was an option. How do I find out who my rep is?

Just google '[your city] state representative'. Most have forms on their websites for constituent services. Worth a shot!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try faxing your inquiry. Old school, I know, but sometimes it works when nothing else does. 📠

Anyone else notice that SDI seems to be slower lately? I wonder if they're short-staffed or if there's been a policy change we don't know about. 🤔
