PFL claim vanished from EDD online, can't upload new doc. Help!
I got a letter saying my document wasn't valid for my PFL claim. I have a new one with the required stuff, but I can't upload it. Even worse, my claim isn't showing up online and all my claim history is gone. What should I do?

PFL application stuck in EDD limbo for 2 weeks - rent due soon, need help!
I submitted my PFL application 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back from EDD. My rent is due this weekend and I really need the application processed ASAP. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? Any advice on how to speed things up?

am i the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get paid for work we already did? the system is broken smh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they forget we have bills to pay too.
For real. And then they wonder why employee morale is low. Go figure 🙄
EDD payment status stuck since 2/13 - What to do next?

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out and back in to ur EDD account can refresh things. worth a shot!
lol if only it were that easy 😂
Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been stuck in EDD limbo for months. It's like they're playing games with our livelihoods. Anyone else feel like the system is designed to be this frustrating?
Preach! 🙌 Sometimes I think they make it hard on purpose to discourage people from claiming.
Nah, I think it's just old technology and understaffing. Still sucks tho.
No update on payment status after 2 days - normal wait time for unemployment?
Has anyone else been waiting for days to get an update on their payment status? It's been 2 days since I filed and I haven't heard anything back. I'm starting to get worried. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about payment status updates: 1. Check your online account daily. Sometimes updates appear there before you get any notifications. 2. Be patient. Processing times can vary widely depending on your claim type and current workload. 3. Make sure all your information is correct and up-to-date. Any discrepancies can cause delays. 4. If you haven't heard anything after 10 business days, try contacting them. Be prepared for long wait times. 5. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really struggling to get through on the phone. 6. Keep documenting everything. Save all communications and note down any calls or attempts to contact them. 7. Check if your state has an ombudsman or advocate office for unemployment issues. They can sometimes help push things along. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP.
Thank you so much for this detailed response! This is really helpful. I'll definitely keep all of this in mind.
Great advice! I'd add: join local unemployment support groups on Facebook. They often have insider tips and can alert you to system issues.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from EDD end up there.

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my SSN wrong by one digit. Took forever to fix but keep pushing!

AuthorOh no, I hope that's not what happened to me. How did you find out about the SSN error?

I finally got through to a rep who double-checked all my info. Def worth asking them to verify everything when you talk to someone.
