Have you checked if your employer submitted all the necessary paperwork? Sometimes the holdup is on their end and EDD is waiting for info from them.
Oof, been there done that. Got my PFL after 4 months of calling and begging. Hang in there, buddy. You'll get your money eventually... probably when you don't even need it anymore π
Anyone else feel like they're trapped in a kafka-esque nightmare dealing with EDD? It's like, the more I try to fix my claim, the more messed up it gets π€‘
LOL for real tho. Sometimes I wonder if it's all just a big social experiment to see how much frustration humans can take ππ
Hey OP, have you tried reaching out to EDD on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!
Just went through this last month. One thing nobody told me: if you're planning to take your leave in chunks (like I did), make sure you clarify that upfront. It can affect how they process your claim.
Does anyone know if you can apply for PFL if youre self-employed? Asking for my brother whos a freelancer and just had twins πΆπΆ
I think self-employed people can opt into SDI coverage, which would then make them eligible for PFL. But he'd need to have done that before the birth, I'm pretty sure.
Protip: If you're really desperate, reach out to your local state representative. They sometimes have connections and can help speed things up.
This! π My rep's office was super helpful. Took about a week, but they got things moving for me.
guys im in the same boat...filed 3 weeks ago and crickets. this is so stressful. how r we supposed to pay bills??
I feel you. Have you looked into local food banks or assistance programs? They might be able to help while you wait for UI to come through.
thx for the suggestion. might have to do that if this keeps up π

Have you tried logging out and logging back in? Sometimes that fixes weird glitches in the system.

Ugh, I feel for you. I'm in the same boat but with disability. These government systems are held together with duct tape and prayers I swear
