PFL Bonding leave stuck 'pending' for a month, can't reach EDD. Help!
I applied for PFL Bonding leave almost a month ago and its still pending. I can't even get through on the phone to talk to anyone. The whole point of bonding leave is to relax with my baby, but now I'm stressing about bills. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to get through or speed up the process?

PFLA benefit payment delay - filed over a month ago, no updates or responses. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. I filed for PFLA benefits over a month ago and still haven't received any payment. I've been checking online every day and calling constantly, but I can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what to do or say when I finally get someone on the line?

Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online status change. You never know when you'll need that info to prove your case.
That's great advice, thank you! I'll start keeping a log right away.
EDD paperwork 'pending review' since November - no updates, what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My paperwork has been "pending review" since November and I'm starting to get really worried. Has anyone else experienced such a long delay? I haven't received any specific notices or letters about what might be causing this. It's been months and I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it can get their attention faster than online submissions.
What year is it, 1995? 🤣 But for real, if it works, it works!

Ive herd that sometimes the claims get stuck in the system if theres any discrepancy between your claim info and your employer's report. Might be worth asking your HR if they submitted everything correctly on there end.
PFL application stuck for a month after disability ended - no updates, need help ASAP!
I applied for Paid Family Leave (PFL) a month ago right after my disability ended, and I still haven't heard anything back. It's been radio silence and I'm getting really worried. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait time? I need this resolved ASAP as bills are piling up. Any advice on how to speed up the process or at least get an update on my application status?

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you first applied? If not, it's possible your application didn't go through properly.
Yeah, I got an email confirmation. At least I know they received it!

Have you checked if there's any missing information on your application? Sometimes they don't tell you if something's incomplete and just leave it pending.

AuthorGood point, I'll double check. Tho you'd think they'd let us know if something was missing 🙄
