EDD Paternity Leave Claim Delayed 3 Weeks - Can I Take It in Chunks?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my paternity leave claim. It's been 3 weeks now and I still haven't heard anything back. On top of that, I'm trying to figure out if I can take my leave in a staggered format. Anyone else dealing with similar delays or have experience with taking paternity leave in chunks?

Yeah, I've been refreshing it like crazy. No updates yet 😞
Congrats on the new addition to your family! 🎉👶 Don't let the bureaucracy get you down. This time is precious, try to enjoy it despite the hassle.
Thank you! You're right, I should focus on the positives. It's just hard when you're worried about money and time off.
Totally get it. Hang in there, it'll all work out! 💪
Need to correct my SDI claim - what to expect when I finally reach someone?
Hey everyone, I need to talk to someone about my disability claim. I think there might be something I need to correct, but I'm not really sure. Has anyone gone through this process before? What should I expect when I finally get through to someone?

Pro tip: if you're not sure what needs to be corrected, ask them to go over your claim with you in detail. Sometimes they can spot issues you might have missed. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions if something doesn't make sense!
This! 💯 The more you understand about your claim, the better off you'll be.
EDD Payment Delays: Anyone else not received their payment? Need advice!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payment. It's been a while since I last received one and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced delays or problems with their payments recently? Any advice on what I should do or who I should contact? I'm really counting on this money and the uncertainty is stressing me out.

have u tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? might work better than actually trying to get ahold of them lmaooo 🐐🔪
Instructions unclear. Sacrificed my bank account instead. Still no payment. 😂
Seriously tho, the whole system is a joke. We pay into this our whole working lives and when we actually need it, it's impossible to access. Something needs to change.
Preach! 🙌 It's like they purposely make it difficult so people just give up.
Vote, people! This is why local elections matter. We need representatives who will actually fix this broken system.
Filed PFL claim a month ago, no updates. Normal wait time for CA EDD?
Hey everyone, I filed a parental leave claim about a month ago and haven't heard anything back yet. Is this normal? Anyone else in the same boat? I'm starting to get worried about when I'll see any payments.

Anybody else notice that ever since they "upgraded" their system last year, everything's been even slower? Great job, govt 👍
Omg yes! It's like they took a functioning system and said "how can we make this worse?" 🤦♀️

Not to be that guy, but did you check your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from EDD end up there.
