Hey everyone, I just got my claim paid out today but I already put in an order for a callback. Does anyone know if I can cancel it or if I even need to talk to them anymore? Not sure what to do now.
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my unemployment application. It's been over 2 weeks since I filed and it's still showing as 'processing'. I tried calling them but when I gave my social security number, they said they couldn't identify me. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next? I'm getting worried because I really need this money soon.
Hey, former EDD employee here. The identity verification issue is pretty common. Make sure you're using the EXACT name that's on your social security card. Even small differences can cause problems. Also, double-check that you entered your SSN correctly on the application. One wrong digit can mess everything up.
Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to cancel my PFL claim online. Has anyone done this before? Is it even possible to do it through the website, or do I need to call them? Any advice would be really appreciated!
I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded while riding a unicycle. Anyone else feel like theyre living in a kafka novel when dealing with this stuff? ๐คก
Hey everyone, I just got off the phone with EDD about my PFL claim delay. Finally got through after trying for days! Anyone else have any luck getting an update on their pending payments? Did they give you a timeline or specific steps to resolve it?
Quick question - do PFL claims typically take longer to process than regular unemployment? This is my first time dealing with this and I'm lost af
yall ever feel like were all just clowns in EDDs circus? ๐คก we jump through hoops, balance on a tightrope of bureaucracy, and pray for the day our claims stop being pending and start being paid ๐ฉ
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my paid family leave dates. I got some paperwork in the mail showing incorrect start dates. The thing is, I need my paid family leave to begin right after my work's maternity leave ends. I'm currently not working and I'm not sure how to fix this. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to approach this when I call them?
Quick question - did you submit any documentation from your employer about your maternity leave end date? That might help streamline the process.

Here's what you need to know about cancelling callbacks and what to do after your claim is paid: 1. Cancellation policies vary: Some systems allow cancellations, others don't. Check their website or call the main line to inquire. 2. If you can't cancel: Don't stress. When they call, simply explain your situation has been resolved. 3. Post-payment steps: - Double-check all details are correct - Set up direct deposit if you haven't already - Keep all documentation for tax purposes - Stay informed about ongoing claim requirements 4. Future considerations: - You might have questions later, so keeping the callback could be useful - If you're expecting more payments, discuss the schedule with the agent 5. Be prepared: Even if your current issue is resolved, have a list of any potential questions ready. This is a rare chance to speak with a representative directly. Remember, it's always better to have more information than less. Use this opportunity wisely!

Totally agree. We need to push for better systems and more staff. This is ridiculous in 2023
