PFL claim not resolved - need advice on following up

Just filed for PFL with EDD - what should I expect? Any tips to speed up the process?
Hey everyone, I just filed for Paid Family Leave and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this? How long did it take for you to hear back from EDD? Any tips on speeding up the process or what to expect? I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing and could use some advice.

Just a heads up, EDD is really backed up right now due to all the covid stuff still. My claim took 2 months to process 😭 Hopefully yours goes faster!
Has anyone had luck getting their employer to supplement their PFL benefits? I heard some companies do that but mine is being stingy 🙄
My company does! They cover the difference to make it 100% of my normal pay. Maybe check your employee handbook or talk to HR?
Lol must be nice. My company acts like PFL is a luxury vacation or smthn 🙄

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading online? I've heard it can sometimes be faster. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.

lol tried that. Still on hold for 2 hours 🤡

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂

Lol I know, right? But seriously, it worked for me when nothing else did. Don't knock it till you've tried it! 😉

Just wanted to say good luck, OP. We're all in the same boat here. The system sucks, but we'll get through it together. 💪
