SDI Payment Authorization Delay - Anyone Else Experiencing This?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with the same issue for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling their helpline? I know it's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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 checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out notifications. Might be worth a look!

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting for 3 months now and still nothing. It's like they want us to give up and go away. 🤬

Here's what I've learned from my experience with disability benefits delays: • Double-check all your paperwork: Make sure you've submitted everything correctly and completely. Even small errors can cause major delays. • Keep a paper trail: Document all your interactions with the disability office, including dates, times, and names of people you speak with. • Use multiple contact methods: Try phone, email, and even snail mail. Sometimes one method works better than others. • Be persistent but polite: It's frustrating, but remember the person on the other end is just doing their job. • Consider getting an advocate: There are organizations that can help you navigate the system and fight for your rights. • Stay on top of deadlines: Make sure you respond to any requests for additional information ASAP. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this.

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 6 months here. at this point im just assuming ill never see that money 🤡

Hey OP, have you considered reaching out to a disability lawyer? They might be able to help speed things up or at least give you some solid advice on next steps.
