EDD payment pending since Jan 24 - uploaded docs yesterday, told to call back today. Any advice?

Hey everyone, I'm in a frustrating situation with my unemployment benefits. I uploaded all the required documents yesterday as they asked, and they told me to call back today to see if they can process my payment. This payment has been pending since January 24th! Has anyone else experienced such long delays? Any advice on how to speed up the process or what to say when I call?

have u tried faxing ur docs? sounds old school but sometimes it gets to them faster than online uploads lol

Faxing? What year is it? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But seriously, I hadn't thought of that. Do you know if they accept faxes for all types of documents?

lmao ikr? but yeah, they usually do. just call and ask for the fax number. make sure to include ur claim number on every page tho!

PFL claim issues - Delayed payments or wrong amount?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my current Paid Family Leave claim. Has anyone else experienced problems with their PFL benefits lately? I'm not sure if it's a delay in payments or something else, but I could really use some advice on how to handle this.

Have you checked if there were any recent changes to PFL policies? Sometimes they update stuff and don't tell anyone ๐Ÿ™„

0 coins

I haven't! That's a good point. Do you know where I could find info on recent updates?

0 coins

Try checking the official PFL website or their social media pages. They sometimes post updates there.

PFL claim processing for 2 weeks, no updates. How much will I get? Tax implications?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my Paid Family Leave (PFL) claim. It's been processing for 2 weeks now with no updates. I'm getting worried about how much I'll actually receive. My weekly wage before leave was $2600. Does anyone know how much I can expect to get? Also, is this taxed? If so, how much should I set aside for taxes? Any advice would be appreciated!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of california bureaucracy ๐ŸŽ‰ where everything's made up and the processing times don't matter

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local state representative's office? I've heard they can sometimes help speed things up with EDD claims.

I did this for my unemployment claim last year and it actually worked! Might be worth a shot for PFL too.

PFL application stuck in EDD limbo for 2 weeks, rent due - need urgent help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I submitted my PFL application two weeks ago and haven't heard anything back from EDD. My rent is due this weekend and I really need this application processed ASAP. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? Any advice on how to speed things up?

Two weeks aint that long tbh. I waited 6 weeks before I heard anything back. Just gotta be patient

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The system is rigged against us, I swear.

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ It's like they make it difficult on purpose.

Tin foil hat time: what if they do it to discourage people from claiming benefits? ๐Ÿค”
