Need help with SDI pregnancy disability claim - keep getting disconnected!

Ugh, I feel your pain! The phone system is a nightmare. I spent hours trying to get through last week. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works for me.

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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you tried using their online portal? Sometimes you can resolve issues there without needing to call.

Here's what worked for me with my pregnancy disability claim: 1. Gather all your documents beforehand (medical records, employment info, etc.) 2. Try calling at off-peak hours (early morning or late afternoon) 3. If you get disconnected, keep calling back 4. Be prepared to explain your situation clearly and concisely 5. Ask for a direct callback number or extension if possible 6. If all else fails, consider reaching out to your local representative's office for help Hang in there! The system is frustrating but don't give up. Your benefits are important.

lol good luck. been trying to sort out my claim for 3 months now. the whole system is a joke 🤡

Have you considered hiring an advocate? They can sometimes navigate the system better and get results faster.

Pro tip: if you get someone on the line, ask them for their direct extension or a callback number. It's like striking gold!

Ive been in the same boat. its rediculous how hard they make it to get help. keep pushing and dont give up!

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to access benefits we're entitled to? The system is broken af 😤
