How to access remaining SDI balance? EDD help needed!

I found a way to solve getting SDI remaining balance info, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bMr12ZtqaM

I've been through this before. You need to contact the EDD directly to request the remaining balance. It can be a bit of a hassle, but it's doable. Make sure you have your claim number and all relevant info ready when you call.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the endless wait. 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the remaining balance info is right there in your claim details. Might save you a call altogether.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to figure this out for weeks. The whole system is a mess. Good luck to both of us! 🍀

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your SDI account online 2. Navigate to your claim details 3. Look for 'Claim Balance' or 'Remaining Benefits' 4. If you can't find it, use the message center to ask about your balance 5. If online doesn't work, call the SDI number: 1-800-480-3287 6. Have your claim number, SSN, and ID ready 7. Be prepared for a wait, call early in the morning if possible 8. Ask specifically about your remaining balance and how to access it 9. Take notes during the call 10. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

lol good luck. i've been tryign to get my balance for months. EDD is a joke 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing in a request? I heard from a friend that sometimes old school methods work better with these government agencies.

I just went through this process last month! The key is to check your SDI Online account first - log in and look under "Claim Information" or "Benefit Details." If you can't find the balance there, try sending a secure message through the portal asking for your remaining balance breakdown. This saved me from having to call. If you absolutely have to call, the number is 1-800-480-3287, but definitely try the online route first. Also keep in mind that SDI benefits have a maximum benefit period, so make sure you're still within your benefit year. Hope this helps!

I had a similar issue a few months ago and found that logging into the SDI Online portal was the fastest solution. Look for a section called "Payment History" or "Benefit Summary" - that's where I found my remaining balance listed. If you can't locate it there, the secure messaging feature that @3a17ddee02c2 mentioned is definitely worth trying before calling. I sent a message asking for my balance breakdown and got a response within 2-3 business days. Way better than spending half a day on hold! Make sure you have your claim number handy when you log in.
