Preach ๐ Sometimes I think they make it this difficult on purpose
Hey OP, just wondering - what specific issue are you dealing with regarding Paid Family Leave? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know the details.
Thanks for asking! I'm trying to file a claim for bonding time with my newborn, but I'm not sure if I'm eligible since I work part-time. That's why I really need to talk to someone directly.
Ah gotcha. Part-time can be tricky. Make sure you have your exact hours worked for the past 18 months when you call. They'll need that to determine eligibility. Congrats on the new baby btw!
Pro tip: if you can get through to someone, ask for a supervisor right away. The regular agents often don't have the authority to actually fix anything.
I'm in the same boat. Been waiting 7 weeks now. My landlord is breathing down my neck and I'm about to lose my apartment. This system is a joke.
have you tried checking your claim status online? sometimes its faster then calling
I didn't even know that was an option! I'll give it a shot, thanks!
Bruh, I swear the EDD is run by clowns ๐คก Good luck getting any straight answers from them lmao
plot twist: the edd is actually a secret government program to test how long citizens can go without snapping. we're all just lab rats in their sick experiment ๐๐งช
Dude, pass whatever you're smoking ๐ But for real, sometimes it does feel that way...

Quick question - when you say "sporadic light work," was that self-employment or for another company? It might make a difference in how you report it.

โขIt was for another company, just very few hours. Like 2-3 hours a week for a couple weeks.

โขAh gotcha. Yea, you definitely need to report that. EDD gets real picky about unreported work, even if it's just a few hours.

Anyone else feel like we need a whole degree just to navigate the unemployment system? ๐๐ค
