SDI payments suddenly stopped on 8/6 - How to find out why and get them restarted?

Hey everyone, I'm freaking out here. My disability payments suddenly stopped on August 6th and I have no idea why. I've been trying to call the SDI office to find out what's going on, but I can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get answers or get my payments started again? I'm really worried about how I'm going to pay my bills.

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. The SDI system is such a mess rn. Have you checked your online account for any updates or messages? Sometimes they post important info there before sending out letters.

Ugh, that sucks. Maybe try sending them a message through the online system? Sometimes that gets a faster response than calling.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they needed some additional medical info from my doctor. Have you received any letters in the mail recently? They might have requested something and stopped payments when they didn't get a response.

I haven't gotten any letters, but maybe it got lost in the mail? I'll double-check with my doctor to see if they received anything. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at SDI. 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. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

I was skeptical at first too, but it really worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

Have you tried contacting your local state representative's office? Sometimes they can help push things through or get answers from SDI faster than we can on our own.

This happened to me once. Turns out my claim had expired and I needed to file a new one. Might be worth checking if that's the case for you too.

Oh, I didn't even think of that! How do I check if my claim has expired?

You should be able to see your claim details in your online account. Look for the 'benefit year end date'. If that's passed, you'll need to file a new claim.

The whole system is rigged against us, I swear. They make it so hard to get the benefits we're entitled to. Keep pushing and don't give up! 💪

Preach! 🙌 It's like they want us to just give up and go away.

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Double-check your online account for any messages or updates 2. Call your doctor to see if they received any requests for info from SDI 3. Send a message through the online portal asking for clarification 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try the Claimyr service mentioned above 5. Contact your local state representative's office for help 6. Check if your claim has expired and you need to file a new one 7. If all else fails, consider filing an appeal Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence usually pays off with these bureaucratic nightmares. Good luck!
