EDD not paying for extended maternity leave week - help!

I found a way to solve EDD maternity leave payment issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_QMtGQ3-70

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling EDD? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

Congrats on the baby and the extended leave! 🎉👶 As for the payment issue, make sure you've submitted all the necessary paperwork for the extension. Sometimes they need additional documentation.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

The EDD system is such a mess rn. I've been dealing with payment issues for months. Good luck, OP! 🍀

Here's what you need to do to resolve your EDD maternity leave payment issue: 1. Double-check your claim status online. Make sure the extension is reflected in your account. 2. If it's not showing up, you may need to file a new claim for the extended week. Look for the option to extend your existing claim. 3. Gather all relevant documents: doctor's note for extension, any EDD correspondence, pay stubs, etc. 4. Try to contact EDD through multiple channels: - Phone (early morning is best) - Online messaging system - Social media (sometimes they respond on Twitter) 5. If you can't get through, consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 6. Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact EDD and resolve the issue. 7. If all else fails, file an appeal. You have the right to appeal any decision or lack of action by EDD. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system can be frustrating, but keep pushing until you get your rightful payment. Good luck!

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, EDD's website is about as reliable as my ex 🙄

I'm in the same boat, OP. Extended leave, missing payment. It's like they don't want us to enjoy our time with our newborns without stressing about money. Hang in there!
