SDI claim filed in June, no response - How long until EDD processes disability claims?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability claim. Filed it back in June and still haven't heard anything. No letters, no updates, nada. It's been months and I'm getting worried. Anyone else dealing with this? How long did it take for you to hear back or get your first payment? I'm starting to feel like I'm in limbo here.

When you're stuck in limbo waiting for your disability claim to process, it can feel frustrating and hopeless. However, tools like Claimyr can indeed help. Claimyr allows you to bypass long hold times and connect directly with an agent, which can be a game-changer. It's important to remain vigilant and keep track of your application's status, as any small progress is a step towards resolution. Consider reaching out to local representatives or advocacy groups who may have additional resources or advice. Patience is key, but knowing you're doing everything you can is crucial. Remember, despite the challenges, these systems aim to support you, and you are entitled to this support. Balance using tools like Claimyr with traditional methods, ensuring you're covering all your bases. Stay informed, stay persistent, and take care of your mental health during this stressful time. A balanced approach to navigating the system, like using Claimyr in conjunction with traditional follow-ups, often yields the best results.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update stuff there before sending letters. Also, make sure they have your correct address. I know it sounds dumb, but it happens.

Oof, that sucks. Maybe try reaching out to your local representative? I've heard they can sometimes help speed things up.

I second reaching out to your local representative. It may take some time, but they might be able to put pressure on the system for you.

How can i get my UI payment back to debit card? i got paid today but it was literally sent as a check

You should change your payment method to debit card not paper check. Call to request to change of payment so next time you are paid electronically. After payment method switched, go boa site for direct deposit to your personal checking account. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

Who actually is responsible for unlocking my Bank of America debit card? I keep getting the run around from both ends. is telling me they can release a due to fraud, but the debit card itself is up to the Bank. I have had my card froze. I cant access my money nor any records/statements. That sounds more of a banks doing. Apparently, i should be getting my in mailed checks until my debit card becomes active. Im so confused. gave me 4 different stories each time i called. So it feels like it could be with the bull. Bank of America just tells me they cant unfreeze accounts. Call the EDD. omg wth

I had this happen to me once and they had me call prepaid b of a, I can’t recall the number but it took very long to get a of someone but once I did they unfroze it.

Had my interview, I feel it went well. He stated it’ll take 10 days for determination. Was a week of pay but now under status it says “pending eligibility phone will be scheduled” why am I getting a second interview? I quit my job because my job would not be able to my 20 lb lifting limit due to (with doctors note). Should I be worried? Is trying to something else if that’s possible? anxiety through the roof all over again
