EDD PFL payment 20+ days late, can't reach anyone. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my paid family leave payments. The last one I got was over 20 days ago, and I got this letter saying I should contact the office if that happens. Anyone else dealing with this? What should I do if I can't get through to them today?

PFL claim status check and end date change - how to actually get through?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to check on some PFL claims I submitted recently. Has anyone had luck getting through to check claim status? I also need to make a small change to one of my claim end dates. Any tips on how to get this sorted out quickly?

Pro tip: keep detailed records of all your calls, emails, and submissions. It's saved my butt more than once when dealing with PFL claims. Also, don't be afraid to escalate to a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to.
That's great advice, thanks! I'll start keeping a log of everything.
Need help applying for EDD family leave - can't get through on phone!

Anyone know if the rules have changed recently? I applied last year and it seems like the process might be different now
They made some changes to the online system in January, but the basic eligibility requirements are still the same AFAIK

Have you checked if theres any updates or letters from EDD in your online account? Sometimes they send important info there and don't bother calling.
Good point, I'll double-check my online account. Thanks for the reminder!

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on FB can get a response.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out they needed some additional medical info from my doctor. Might be worth checking if there's any paperwork they're waiting on?
