PFL payment stopped after 4/9 - no response for 20+ days. What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my paid family leave payments. The last one I got was back in April, and it's been radio silence since then. I got this letter saying I should reach out if I don't get paid for more than 20 days. It's been way longer than that now. Anyone else dealing with this? What should I do next?

Here's a comprehensive guide for your Paid Family Leave follow-up call: • Have your claim number ready • Know your last day worked and first day of leave • Have your expected return-to-work date on hand • Keep your doctor's contact information nearby • Be prepared to explain any changes in your situation • Have a pen and paper ready to take notes • Stay calm and polite, even if the process is frustrating • Ask for a reference number or confirmation of the call • If possible, try to get the name of the representative you speak with Remember, these calls can take a while, so make sure you're in a quiet place with good phone reception. Good luck!
Wow, this is super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to write all this out. I feel way more prepared now 😊
Solid advice right here 👆 Wish I had this list when I made my call!
EDD claim cancelled by mistake, can't reach anyone to fix it. Help!
I'm so frustrated with the unemployment office. I filed a claim last month and it got cancelled by mistake. I called to get it fixed and they put me through to the wrong department. Now I've been trying to get through to the right people for days but can't reach anyone. They close at 5pm and I'm worried I'll miss my chance to get this sorted out. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to actually talk to a human there?

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team can help or at least escalate your issue.
This actually worked for me! Got a DM from them within an hour. Thanks for the tip!
PFL claim stuck - no new forms for rest of claim amount. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my Paid Family Leave claim. I got some money initially, but now I haven't received any new forms to fill out for the rest of my claim amount. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next? I'm getting worried because I really need this money.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can be faster than mail or email sometimes.
Omg yes! Faxing worked for me when nothing else did. It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something 🤣
PFL Claim Corrections: Doctor on Vacation, Need Extension ASAP! Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my PFL claim. I need to make some corrections, but my doctor is on vacation until next Monday. They only gave me 10 days from May 1st to submit everything. I'm hoping to get an extension since the doctor's office has the paperwork and notice of corrections. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to handle this situation?

Have you checked their website? Sometimes they have forms for extension requests that you can submit online. Might be worth a shot!
I didn't even think of that! I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Have you checked if there were any changes to the PFL program recently? Sometimes they update rules and it messes up ongoing claims.
