SDI Claim Date Change While in Rehab - Need Advice!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my SDI claim. I'm currently in rehab for two weeks, but the dates are overlapping with my existing claim. Has anyone dealt with changing dates on an active claim before? I'm not sure how to handle this situation and could really use some advice.

PFL Debit Card MIA - Weeks of Waiting, No Benefits Access. Help!
Has anyone else not received their paid family leave debit card? I've been waiting for weeks and still nothing. Starting to get worried about accessing my benefits. Any advice on how to follow up or what might be causing the delay?

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we still use debit cards for this? why cant they just do direct deposit like its 2023 ffs
They do offer direct deposit tho? You have to set it up on the website.
For real? How did I miss that lol. Thanks for the heads up!
Just a heads up, there was a news article last week about delays in card production due to a supplier issue. Might explain why so many of us are waiting. They said it should be resolved in the next 2-3 weeks.
Link to the article? I must have missed this.
Sure, here you go: [link removed by moderator]. Hope it helps!

PFL Claim Submitted 3 Weeks Ago - No Confirmation or Payment Yet. Normal?
Hey everyone, I submitted my PFL claim a few weeks ago and I'm still waiting to hear back. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get confirmation that they received it? And when can I expect to start getting payments? I'm getting a bit anxious about the whole process.

have you tried checkin your spam folder? sometimes the confirmation email ends up there lol
Oh man, I didn't even think of that! 🤦♂️ I'll go check right now, thanks!
Unpopular opinion: the whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. It's like they WANT us to give up 🙄
True, but what can we do? It's not like complaining on reddit is gonna change the system lol
Maybe not, but at least we can warn others and share tips to make it slightly less painful 🤷♂️
PFL claim approved but only received one check - EDD delays?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my PFL claim. It was approved a couple weeks ago, but I've only received one check so far. Has anyone else experienced delays in getting their payments? I'm starting to get worried about how I'll cover my bills if this keeps up. Any advice on what I should do or who I should contact?

The whole system is broken. We need to organize and demand better service from EDD. Who's with me? ✊
Count me in! This has gone on long enough. We need action!
Lol good luck with that. EDD doesn't care about us little people 🙃

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every interaction. You never know when you'll need to prove you've been trying to resolve this. CYA all the way!

This! Social media can be a powerful tool. I got my issue resolved after tweeting at my state rep.
