PFL Payment Delay: Submitted Weekends But No Money Yet - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my PFL claim. I submitted my claim for the weekends I worked, but I haven't received my payment yet. Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it usually take for payments to come through? I'm getting worried because I really need this money.

EDD PFL: No debit card or payments after filing claim. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with EDD Paid Family Leave. I filed my claim a while back, but I still haven't received my debit card or any payments. I'm getting really worried and frustrated. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next? I've been trying to call them, but it's impossible to get through. The number I have is 877-238-4373, but I'm not sure if that's even the right one anymore. This whole process is so confusing!

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 馃檮 It's like they're stuck in 1995 or something.
LOL truth! I swear they're running it on a Commodore 64 in someone's basement 馃槀
For real tho, how hard is it to build a website that actually works? My kid could probably do a better job with his Legos 馃П
PFL payments from EDD 2+ months late - what to do?
Has anyone else been waiting forever for their Paid Family Leave payments? It's been over two months since I applied and I haven't received a single penny. I'm starting to get really worried. What should I do? Has anyone had any luck getting through to EDD about this?

Has anyone tried reaching out on social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses from EDD on Twitter. Might be worth a shot!
Idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. My claim was stuck in limbo. I had to file an appeal to get it sorted. It's a pain, but might be worth looking into if nothing else works.
Oh wow, I didn't know that was even possible. How long did the appeal process take?
It took about 3 weeks for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still faster than waiting for them to figure it out on their own tho
EDD Approval Letter Received but No Payment Yet - How Long to Wait?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling pretty frustrated right now. I got my approval letter last week that said how much I'd be getting daily, but I still haven't seen any money hit my account. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take for you to actually get paid after receiving the approval letter?

Hey OP, how long ago did you submit your paperwork? I've heard they're really backed up right now due to all the claims from the pandemic.
It's been about 6 weeks now. I know they're swamped, but it's getting really tough to manage without the payment.
Oof, that's rough. Hang in there. Have you considered applying for any emergency assistance programs in the meantime?
Pro tip: if you fax your documents instead of mailing them, it can speed up the process. I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but it worked for me!
Wait, fax machines still exist? 馃槀 But seriously, good to know!
Can confirm. Faxing is like a secret backdoor to the EDD. It's wild that it works, but it does!

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you submitted everything correctly? I once thought my payment was late, but turns out I messed up some dates on the form. Just a thought!

AuthorNo worries, it's a fair question! I've triple-checked everything and I'm pretty sure it's all correct. But maybe I'll give it another look just in case.
