PFL approval start date wrong (2024 vs 2025) - How to fix?
Hey everyone, I just got approved for paid family leave but I messed up on the start date. I put 2024 instead of 2025. Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm worried they might not pay me until it's fixed. What should I do when I talk to them?

I work in HR and deal with this stuff all the time. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the PFL office ASAP. The sooner you correct it, the better. 2. Have your claim number, correct start date, and any other relevant info ready. 3. Explain the situation calmly and clearly. It's a common mistake. 4. Ask them to confirm the change verbally, then request written confirmation. 5. Follow up via email or their online portal if they have one. 6. Keep all documentation related to this correction. Don't stress too much. These things happen and they're usually pretty good about fixing them. Just stay on top of it and you should be fine!
Wow, thank you so much for the detailed advice! This is super helpful. I'll follow these steps for sure.

PFL claim filed a month ago - no updates or payments. Normal wait time?
Hey everyone, I filed for PFL about a month ago and I haven't heard anything back yet. No updates, no payments, nothing. Is this normal? I'm starting to get worried. Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice on what I should do next?

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around for months with no income? How are we supposed to survive? 🤬
Preach! 👏 The government needs to get its act together. We're not asking for handouts, just what we're owed!
SDI tax forms for December earnings missing - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I haven't gotten my tax forms for my state disability earnings from last December. Anyone else dealing with this? What should I do? I'm worried about filing my taxes without all the proper documentation.

idk why the government cant get its act together. we're living in 2024 and they still cant figure out how to send forms on time smh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or somethin
Hey OP, just a heads up - even if you don't have the form, you still need to report the income. You can use your bank statements to estimate the amount received. Better to overestimate slightly than underreport. You can always file an amended return later if needed.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep that in mind. Better safe than sorry with the IRS, right?

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to register for weeks now. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to take care of our families when we can't even access the benefits we're entitled to? 😤
