PFL claim paid for 6 days instead of 14, wrong end date. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my PFL claim. I filed for 14 days but only got paid for 6. The claim was supposed to end on 2/16, but it ended on 2/6 instead. My original application clearly showed the correct end date. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get this fixed?

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with government agencies.

EDD Payment 3 Months Late - Notice Received but No Money. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted a claim back in December and got a notice saying I'd be paid in February. It's now way past that and I still haven't seen a dime. Anyone else dealing with this? I've tried calling but can't get through. Any advice on what to do next?

I heard they're super backlogged because of some new system update. Might be why everyones payments are delayed. Doesn't make it suck any less tho.
Always an excuse with them. Why can't they ever get their act together?

This is why I'm scared to even apply for PFL. The system seems so broken. Anyone have any positive experiences to share?

I actually had a pretty smooth experience! Just make sure you triple-check everything before submitting.

It's hit or miss. My first claim was a nightmare, but the second one went through without a hitch. 🤷♂️
