Hey OP, any luck solving this? I'm getting the same error now and I'm pulling my hair out!

I ran into this exact same E324 error last year! What finally worked for me was logging out completely, waiting about 30 minutes, then logging back in with a fresh session. Also make sure you're not using any VPN or proxy - EDD's system gets really picky about that stuff. If you're still stuck, try accessing the site from a different IP address (like using your phone's hotspot instead of home wifi). The system seems to have some weird IP-blocking issues that cause these random errors. Hope this helps!

guys i think i found a loophole. if you call exactly at 8:01am while standing on one foot and humming the national anthem, you get through instantly

Just went through this exact same thing last month! My claim showed "processed" for about 2 weeks before I actually got paid. What helped me was logging into my account daily to check for any new messages or action items - turns out I had missed a small identity verification step that was buried in the notifications. Also, definitely confirm your payment method is set up correctly. The anxiety is real when you're waiting for that money to hit! Hang in there, it will come through eventually.

Update: I finally got through to EDD this morning! They confirmed they received my bonding paperwork and that my claim is being processed. The rep said there will likely be a 7-10 day gap before my first baby bonding payment, but everything is on track. Thanks for all the helpful advice everyone!

So glad you got confirmation from EDD! That must be such a relief. I went through this same transition 6 months ago and the waiting/uncertainty is the worst part. Once you get that first bonding payment, the rest should come regularly every two weeks. The 7-10 day gap is totally normal - I think mine was about 9 days. Take advantage of this time to rest and bond with your baby without worrying about the paperwork side of things. You did everything right!

idk if this helps, but I had to send in additional medical documentation when I extended my leave. Did they ask you for anything like that?

OMG yes, I went through this exact same thing! Only got paid for 3 days out of my 6-week leave initially. It turned out there was a glitch in their system that wasn't processing the full claim period correctly. What worked for me was emailing them with my claim number and a detailed timeline of what should have been covered. I sent it to the generic PFL email address but also CC'd their customer service manager (you can find the email on their website). Got a response within 48 hours and they fixed it. Also, for extending your leave - make sure you submit the extension request at least 2 weeks before your current leave ends if possible. They're super slow with processing extensions and you don't want a gap in coverage. Hope this helps! The system is frustrating but don't give up 💪

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic support after having a baby? The whole system needs an overhaul tbh

Oh no, I feel your pain! I made the exact same mistake after my delivery. The good news is it's totally fixable, just annoying to deal with. Here's what worked for me: Call the PFL line first thing in the morning (8am sharp) - they're usually less busy then. Tell them you need to withdraw your claim due to filing error. They'll give you a confirmation number - write it down! Then immediately call the SDI line and explain the situation. The whole process took me about 3 weeks total, but I didn't lose any benefits. Just make sure you have all your medical documentation ready when you refile. Your doctor should have given you the right forms for disability, not family leave. Hang in there mama, you'll get through this! ❤️
