PFL benefits held up due to delayed final SDI payment - need help!

I found a way to solve disability payment delaying PFL benefits, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un-r0Fs8Q0A

Ugh, that sucks. I've been there before. Have you tried calling the disability office directly? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

The whole system is a joke. I've been waiting on my disability payment for weeks now. It's like they don't even care that people have bills to pay. 🤬

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They sometimes have contacts within EDD that can help move things along.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. 2. Send a written request (email or certified mail) to both the disability office and PFL office explaining your situation. Be sure to include your claim numbers and any relevant dates. 3. If you don't hear back within 10 business days, escalate to a supervisor. 4. As someone else mentioned, contacting your local assembly member can be helpful. They often have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. 5. If all else fails, consider filing a complaint with the Department of Insurance. Sometimes this can light a fire under them. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

have u checked ur online account? sometimes the status updates there b4 they tell u anything

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a discrepancy between the dates my doctor put on the form and what I had submitted. Double-check all your paperwork!

OP, hang in there! The system is broken but you'll get through this. Sending good vibes your way! 🙏
