SDI paperwork sent month ago, no verification, account 'unavailable' - how to actually reach someone?

I found a way to solve disability paperwork delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HtPFPf4y9E

Ugh, I feel your pain. The disability office is a nightmare to deal with. I was in the same boat a few months ago. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works better.

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 a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster. It's worth a shot!

The whole system is a joke. I've been waiting for 3 months now. No updates, no responses to emails, nothing. It's like they want us to give up. 🤬

Here's what worked for me after dealing with this bs for weeks: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and attempts to contact them. 2. File a formal complaint through their website. Make sure to include all the details. 3. Reach out to your state representative AND senator. Send them a detailed email explaining your situation. 4. If you can afford it, use one of those paid services to get through on the phone. It sucks to pay, but sometimes it's worth it. 5. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 6. If all else fails, consider contacting a disability lawyer. Some offer free consultations. Hang in there, OP. The system is broken, but don't give up!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes their emails end up there. just a thought

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. The disability office is seriously understaffed and overworked right now. Not an excuse, but might explain the delays. Keep pushing!
