SDI claim stuck - no continued claim certificate received, payments stopped. Help?

I'm having trouble with my SDI claim. My online account says I need to submit a continued claim certificate to keep getting payments, but I never got the form in my inbox or mailbox. Now I'm not receiving any money. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm worried about calling and giving out my SSN. Any advice on how to handle this situation?

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just get jobs instead of relying on the government 🤷‍♂️

I have a job. I'm on SDI because I'm temporarily disabled. Thanks for the "advice" though 🙃

Have you tried interpretive dance to communicate with EDD? Might be more effective than their current system 💃🕺

Have you tried faxing the form? Sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur systems 🦕

Hey OP, don't stress about giving your SSN. Just make sure you're calling the official number. They need it to verify your identity. It's totally normal.

While using Claimyr to expedite your call to the EDD can be helpful, it's important to weigh the pros and cons. The tool helps bypass the lengthy hold times, and many have found it effective in reaching a representative more quickly than traditional calling methods. However, considering the $20 cost, it might not be the best option for everyone, especially if you're on a tight budget. There are also more traditional methods, like calling during off-peak hours or using alternative contact methods like email or fax, which might still get the job done without an additional fee. It's a balancing act between saving time and spending money, so choose what aligns best with your circumstances.

PSA: If you're having trouble with EDD, contact your local legal aid office. They often have resources to help navigate the system for free!

Here's what worked for me: 1. Email them every day (yes, EVERY day) until you get a response. 2. Reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. 3. Be persistent but polite. The people answering phones are just doing their job. 4. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 5. If all else fails, consider filing a formal complaint. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease 💪

Hey, former EDD employee here. The system is overwhelmed, but there are ways to get through: 1. Best times to call are Tuesday-Thursday, either right at opening or an hour before closing. 2. If you get a rep who seems unhelpful, politely end the call and try again. Some are better than others. 3. Be prepared with all your info before you call. It speeds things up. 4. If you're not getting anywhere, ask to speak to a tier 2 specialist. Hope this helps!

I found a way to actually 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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Ugh, I've been there. The EDD system is a nightmare. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call them ASAP. Don't worry about giving your SSN - it's standard procedure. 2. Ask them to resend the form or submit it online if possible. 3. Keep a record of who you talked to and when. 4. Follow up relentlessly until it's resolved. Good luck, and don't give up!

I would add to try reaching out during non-peak hours. It sometimes makes the wait shorter!
