How to check claim status? Can't get through to EDD!
Hey everyone, I'm trying to check on the status of my claim but I'm not sure how to go about it. Has anyone had any luck getting through to someone? I've been waiting for what feels like forever and I'm starting to get worried. Any advice would be really appreciated!

PFL claim stuck - birth certificate submitted 6 weeks ago, still no payment from EDD. Help!
I submitted my child's birth certificate for my PFL claim weeks ago, and I still haven't received any payment. A rep told me it would only take 24 hours to process, but it's been way longer. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? I'm getting worried because I haven't been paid for 6 weeks now. Any advice on what I should do next?

Plot twist: what if the birth certificate got lost in the mail? Might be worth resubmitting just in case. I've heard horror stories of docs never making it to EDD.
Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that! 😱 I'll try to submit it again online if I can. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting on my payment for 3 weeks now. This whole system is a joke. Good luck to you 😔
Thanks, hope you get your payment soon too!
PFL claim filed over a month ago, no payments yet. Anyone else experiencing delays?

No unemployment payment for 6 weeks - how to get through to EDD?
I haven't been paid for 6 weeks now and I'm starting to get really worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get through to someone at the unemployment office? I've tried calling but I can never get through. This is so frustrating!

I feel for you, OP. The waiting game is the worst. Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there are updates there that can give you an idea of what's going on.
This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a small error on my application that held everything up. Once I got through and fixed it, the payments came through pretty quickly. Keep trying!
That's good to know. I'll double-check my application to make sure everything is correct. Thanks for the tip!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling your local office directly. Sometimes they're easier to reach
