SDI payment delay - filed claim but no money received. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my SDI payment. I filed my claim a while back but still haven't received anything. Has anyone else experienced delays with their disability payments? Any advice on how to get in touch with someone who can help?

I found a way to solve SDI payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry8zEsyVaMQ

Ugh, I feel your pain. The SDI system is a total mess right now. I've been waiting for my payment for over a month. Have you tried calling their hotline?

Yeah, I've tried calling but can never get through. It's so frustrating! How long have you been waiting exactly?

I've been waiting for about 6 weeks now. It's ridiculous. I'm starting to worry about how I'm gonna pay my bills 😓

6 weeks?! That's insane. I thought my 3-week wait was bad. This system is broken af 🤬

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's highway robbery! 🤔

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho

I used it too! Got through in like 30 minutes. Definitely beats calling all day long

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's more info there than what they tell you over the phone.

Pro tip: try calling right when they open in the morning. I got through after only a 20-minute wait last week. Good luck!

What time do they open? I'll set my alarm lol

I think it's 8am Pacific Time. But double-check on their website to be sure!

I hate to be that guy, but have you made sure all your paperwork is in order? I thought my claim was delayed, but turns out I forgot to submit one form 🤦‍♂️

0 coins

Yeah, I've triple-checked everything. All my docs are submitted and correct as far as I can tell.

Ah, bummer. Well, at least you know that's not the issue. Hang in there!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? I've heard some people have had luck getting their claims expedited that way.

Can confirm this works! My cousin did this and got her payment within a week. Worth a shot!

Idk if this helps, but I noticed that claims filed on certain days of the week seem to get processed faster. Try filing on a Tuesday or Wednesday next time if possible.

This whole situation is so messed up. We're already dealing with health issues, and now we gotta fight just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The system is broken, man. 😤

Preach! 🙌 It's like they want us to give up and just suffer in silence.

Fr fr. We need to organize and demand change. This isn't right.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with SDI: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke to. 3. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and submitted. 4. Check your online account regularly for updates. 5. If you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your state representative or even local media. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to SDI issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips. 7. If you can afford it, that Claimyr service others mentioned might be worth a shot. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up! It's a frustrating process, but stay strong. 💪
