PFL Bonding Time: What to say when calling about my letter?

Hey everyone, I just got a letter about paid family leave and I need to call them to get it sorted out. Anyone have experience with this? What should I say when I get someone on the phone? I'm planning to ask for bonding time with my new baby.

Don't forget to ask about partial leave options! You might be able to work part-time and still get some benefits. Could help stretch out your time with the baby.

Finally got through to deposit funds - any tips for others still struggling?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that I finally got through to deposit some funds. It's been a real hassle trying to reach someone, but I managed to do it today. Has anyone else had any luck recently? Any tips for others who are still struggling to get in touch?

Has anyone tried reaching out through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way.

EDD claim from March still 'Pending Processing' - no payment received. Help!

I filed an unemployment claim back in March and still haven't received any payment. It's been over two months now! The status just says 'Pending Processing'. I've tried calling the EDD office multiple times but can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else experienced such a long delay? Any advice on how to speed up the process or at least get some information about when I might expect to receive benefits?

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? πŸ€” Sus af if you ask me

Pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling the employer line and then ask to be transfered to claims. Worked for me!
