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

I found a way to solve disability payment delays issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd9DCX3JvHY

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.

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

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! 💪

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes they deposit without sending a notice. happened to me once

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!

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.

Ive been in the same boat. its so stressful when the payments stop coming. hang in there OP!

I went through something similar about 6 months ago. When I updated my return-to-work date, it actually triggered an automatic review of my claim status. The system flagged it as a potential change in my disability status, even though I was just updating future dates. It took about 4 weeks to resolve once I finally got through to someone. In the meantime, I had to submit additional medical documentation to prove I was still disabled. The key is to keep all your medical records handy and be prepared to resubmit paperwork. Also, if you have a case worker assigned, try reaching out to them directly via email - sometimes that's faster than the general phone line.

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now! My payments stopped about 2 weeks ago after I had to update some information in my account. From what I've learned lurking in this community, it seems like any changes to your claim can trigger an automatic review, which temporarily pauses payments while they verify everything. It's incredibly frustrating because they don't always notify you that this is happening. I'd recommend calling first thing in the morning (like others suggested) and also sending a secure message through your online portal asking specifically about the status of your claim and if there's a review in progress. Document everything - dates, times you called, reference numbers if you get any. Hang in there, we'll get through this! 💪
