Guys, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM
pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I always have better luck getting through early in the morning
Have you considered talking to your doctor about this? Sometimes they can help expedite the process by directly communicating with EDD about your change in medical status.
Quick question - are you sure you need to change from PFL to DI? Sometimes people confuse the two. PFL is for bonding with a new child or caring for a family member, while DI is for your own disability. Just want to make sure you're on the right track!

This whole system is a joke. We pay into it our whole lives and then when we need it, we have to jump through a million hoops. 🤡

Have you considered reaching out to a local non-profit that helps with these kinds of issues? They might have some insider knowledge or connections.

•That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Do you know of any specific organizations?

•It depends on your area, but try googling 'legal aid' or 'workers rights organization' + your city name. Good luck!
