EDD claim still pending after submitting proof - what else do they need?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. It's still pending and I'm not sure why. I submitted a document they asked for as proof, but I haven't heard anything back. I haven't gotten any mail or updates about my claim. Has anyone else dealt with this? What other info might they need to process my claim? I'm getting worried and could use some advice.

Oof, binding time claims are the WORST. I swear they purposely make it complicated so people give up. Hang in there, OP! 💪
Fr fr. The whole system needs an overhaul. It's 2023, why does everything still feel like it's running on Windows 95? 🙄

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you first applied? I'm about to start this process and want to know what to expect.
Yeah, I got an email confirmation right away. But after that... radio silence 😕

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my Paid Family Leave claim. I filed it recently but haven't heard anything back. I tried calling EDD multiple times but kept getting disconnected. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to actually get through to a live person? I'm starting to get really frustrated with the whole process.

Pro tip: use the online portal to submit questions. Sometimes they respond faster that way than over the phone. Also, make sure you've uploaded all necessary documents. That can speed things up.
Thanks for the tip! I'll double-check my uploads. Didn't even think about using the portal for questions.
Anyone else notice how the EDD system always seems to crash right when you need it most? It's like they're running it on a potato or something 🥔💻
Potato? You're giving them too much credit. Pretty sure it's just a hamster on a wheel at this point 🐹
LOL true. Poor hamster probably needs a vacation. No wonder our claims are taking forever to process 😂
EDD PFL Refund Issues - New Mom Form Confusion & Double Charging Concerns
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD claim refund. I filed for Paid Family Leave as a new mom and I'm trying to follow up on my claim. Has anyone else had problems with refunds or communication from EDD about the "new mommy" form? I'm worried about getting charged again and I really need to know what's going to be refunded. Any advice or similar experiences?

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster 🤔
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂
Actually, I did try faxing and it worked pretty well. Got a response within a week.

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Hey OP, what kind of proof did they ask for? Sometimes they need really specific documents and if it's not exactly what they want, they just let it sit there without telling you.

AuthorThey asked for proof of employment. I sent in my last few pay stubs, but maybe that wasn't enough?

Might not be. They sometimes want a letter from your employer or your W2. Def worth calling to check if what you sent meets their requirements.
