Pro tip: If you can, try faxing your documents instead of mailing them. Sounds old school, but I swear it got my claim moving faster.
Pro tip: If you're having trouble understanding the medical jargon in these letters, ask your doctor for a plain language summary. It's your right to understand your own medical info!
Does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of your claim online? Tired of being on hold for hours just to get a simple update smh
Guys, I just found out that my claim was denied because my former employer contested it. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do now?
Oh no, that sucks! You should definitely appeal the decision. Make sure you have all your documentation ready and be prepared to explain your side of the story.
I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's a nightmare. I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. Hang in there, OP. 💪

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about these delays? I've heard it can sometimes speed things up.

•Just Google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have websites where you can input your address and it'll show you who represents you.
