EDD Recomputation Nightmare: Updating for the 3rd Time, Need Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having to update my recomputation for the third time now. It's getting really frustrating. Has anyone else had to do this multiple times? Any tips on how to make sure it's done right this time? I'm worried about how this might affect my benefits.

PFL hasn't sent forms since April application - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with PFL. I applied back in April and still haven't received any forms. It's been over a month now and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do? I'm thinking about calling them to make sure they have my correct address and to ask them to resend the forms. Any advice would be appreciated!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails end up there. Just a thought!
Good idea, but they said they're sending physical forms. I wish it was by email, would make things so much easier!
Oops, my bad! Totally missed that part. Yeah, physical mail is the worst for this stuff. Fingers crossed it shows up soon!
EDD claim status? Submitted doctor's form a month ago, no response yet. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I filed my unemployment claim about a month ago and I'm still waiting to hear back about my status. I'm especially worried because I had to submit a doctor's form with my application. Has anyone else been in this situation? How long did it take for you to get a response? I'm starting to get anxious because bills are piling up and I really need this to come through. Any advice or experiences would be super helpful!

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around with no income while they take their sweet time? It's criminal 😡
Preach! 🙌 The government really doesn't care about us little guys
It's frustrating for sure, but remember the staff are probably overwhelmed too. Doesn't make it right, but it helps to keep perspective.
Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation when you submitted your doctor's form? I'm about to apply and want to make sure I do everything right.
Yeah, I got an email confirmation after I uploaded the form to my account. Make sure you keep that email just in case!
Thanks! That's super helpful. Fingers crossed my process goes smoothly 🤞
PFL claim extension radio silence - 6 weeks and counting. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I got an extension for my PFL claim a while back, but I still haven't received anything. It's been radio silence from them. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next? I'm starting to get worried...

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on social media? I tweeted at them and got a response within a day. Worth a shot! 🤷♀️
idk if this helps, but I was in the same boat last year. turns out there was a glitch in there system that was delaying a bunch of extensions. might be worth asking if theres any known issues rn
Classic government IT 🙄 Always some kind of 'glitch' or 'system error
Ugh, why can't they just get their act together? We're talking about people's livelihoods here!
PFL claim stuck in limbo for 3 weeks, no updates. Desperate for financial help. Any advice?
I submitted my PFL claim 3 weeks ago and there's been no updates. I'm in a really tough spot financially and desperately need to know what's going on with my claim. Has anyone else experienced long delays like this? Any advice on how to get through to someone who can help?

The whole system is a joke. They expect us to wait weeks or months while bills pile up? Something needs to change. 🤬
Preach! 👏 Maybe if the people running these agencies had to live on our budgets for a while, they'd fix things real quick

Guys, I think I figured out a hack. If you file your recomputation exactly at midnight on a Tuesday, it seems to go through faster. Worked for me and two of my friends. Worth a shot!

Wait, seriously? That sounds like some video game cheat code stuff 😂

I know it sounds crazy, but I swear it worked! Maybe less traffic on the system at that time? 🤷♂️

Anyone else notice that the recomputation issues got worse after that system "upgrade" last month? Feels like we're all beta testers for their buggy software 🙄
