Showerthought: That time my SDI claim got held up for 6 weeks because I listed my doctor's old address that he moved from 2 years ago

I was sitting at my kitchen table in Fresno after the third denial letter and finally called the SSA office only to find out they'd been sending verification requests to a chiropractor who hadn't seen me since 2019, so I had to resubmit with the current clinic address on Shaw Avenue and it cleared in 10 days, has anyone else had a claim hang on a tiny address mistake?

Yeah, the "tiny address mistake" thing really rang a bell. My buddy Rick had his whole short-term disability thing held up for two months because he put his old apartment number on the form, the one he moved out of in 2020. They kept sending letters to some guy named Dave who lived there now, who just threw them in the trash. He finally had to drive down to the office in person with his lease agreement just to prove he lived at his current place on Palm Avenue.

Bureaucracy at its finest, huh?
