SDI payments stopped for 3 weeks after updating return-to-work date - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having issues with my disability payments. My last payment was 3 weeks ago and I'm not sure what's going on. I updated my return-to-work date to November 1st, but that shouldn't affect my current payments, right? Has anyone else experienced delays like this? I'm getting worried and could use some advice on how to handle this situation.

Ugh, I feel ya. The disability system is such a mess rn. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold last week.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that flagged my account for no reason. Def try to get someone on the phone asap.

Hey, I found a method 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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for you to get connected?

It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to do anything. The service called me when an agent was on the line.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down dates of your last payment, when you updated your return-to-work date, and any attempts to contact them. 2. Check your online account for any notices or updates you might have missed. 3. If calling doesn't work, try sending a secure message through your online portal. Be concise and clear about the issue. 4. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with disability issues. 5. Keep following up. The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up! 💪

The whole system is rigged against us, I swear. They probably hope we'll just give up and go away. Don't let them win!

C'mon guys, it's not a conspiracy. The system is just outdated and understaffed.

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you updated your return-to-work date? Sometimes those updates can trigger a review of your claim.

You know what, I'm not sure if I did. I'll have to dig through my emails. Thanks for bringing that up!
