EDD can't verify my PFL - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my paid family leave. The EDD can't seem to verify it and I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get it sorted out?

The whole system is broken. I've been dealing with EDD for months and it's a nightmare. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🤡
Preach! 🙌 The government needs to get its act together.
Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? They sometimes have staff dedicated to helping constituents with EDD issues.
I didn't even know that was an option. How do I find out who my rep is?
Just google '[your city] state representative'. Most have websites with contact info for constituent services.

Anyone else feel like they're playing EDD roulette? Some days you get a helpful agent, other days it's like talking to a brick wall. 🎰
LOL, EDD roulette is the perfect way to describe it. I swear it's all about luck sometimes.
EDD Paid Family Leave Non-Payment Issue After Job Loss - Need Advice!
I applied for paid family leave after my job ended, but I'm having issues with non-payment. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take to get resolved? Any advice on how to get through to someone at EDD?

Quick question - how long after your job ended did you apply for paid family leave? There might be a timing issue affecting your claim.
I applied about 2 weeks after my job ended. Do you think that could be causing the problem?
It might be. There's usually a waiting period between unemployment and other benefits. Def something to ask about when you get through to someone.
PDL Approval Limbo: No Updates, When to Expect First Payment?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I applied for PDL (Pandemic Disaster Loan) a while back and I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm starting to get worried because I really need that first payment to come through. Has anyone else been waiting for their PDL approval? Any idea how long it usually takes before you hear back or get your first payment? I've been checking my account online but there's no updates. Starting to feel like I'm in limbo here.

I heard a rumor that they're prioritizing certain industries for faster approval. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?
That sounds like fake news to me. Where did you hear that?
Just something I saw on Twitter. Guess I should've fact-checked before posting 😅

Here's what I've learned from my experience with submitting documents online: 1. Make sure your document is in PDF format and under 5MB. 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies before trying again. 3. Use Chrome or Firefox - the site doesn't play well with Safari or Edge. 4. If all else fails, try uploading very early in the morning or late at night when traffic is lower. 5. Double-check that you're on the correct page for your specific type of claim. 6. If you still can't submit, take screenshots of the errors you're getting. They can be helpful when you finally reach someone. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
