4 weeks no update on PFL application from EDD. What to do?

I found a way to solve EDD paid leave application delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UcjolANW5U

Ugh, I feel your pain. I went through something similar last year. It's frustrating how slow the process can be. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

4 weeks is actually not that bad, believe it or not. I waited 8 weeks for mine to process. The system is totally overwhelmed. Hang in there!

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/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. Make sure you've submitted all required documents. Double-check! 4. If you can't get through by phone, try emailing. Sometimes that works. 5. Contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. 6. Be persistent but polite when you do get through. 7. Ask specifically if there's anything missing from your application or if they need any additional information. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there lol

The whole system is broken af. We pay into this and then have to jump through hoops to get what we're owed. It's a joke 🤡

Quick question - did you receive a confirmation email when you first submitted your application? If not, it's possible it didn't go through properly.
