PFL payments delayed since December - missing documents issue?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My paid family leave started at the end of December, and I haven't seen a dime since then. It's been months now, and I'm starting to get really worried. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? I think there might be some issue with missing documents or verification, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

EDD 4+ week delay on claim update, can't get paid, hundreds of calls no answer - help!
I've been waiting over a month for an update on my unemployment claim and still haven't heard anything back from EDD. I can't get paid by my employer until I get this update, so I'm really in a tight spot financially. I've tried calling hundreds of times but can't get through. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on how to actually reach someone at EDD?

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard some ppl have had success that way
Lol what year is it, 1995? 🤣
laugh all u want but if it works it works 🤷♀️
Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul.
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming.
Totally agree. We pay into this system, it should work for us when we need it.

Just a heads up, I heard they're implementing a new system next month that's supposed to speed things up. Might be worth waiting if you can hold out a bit longer.
Source? I haven't seen anything about this and I've been following the updates pretty closely.
My cousin works in the IT department there. Take it with a grain of salt, but she seemed pretty confident about it.

EDD Paperwork 'Pending Review' Since November - No Payments, Claim Not Processed
I've been waiting since November for my paperwork to be reviewed. It's been 'pending review' for months now. Because of this delay, I haven't received any payments and my claim hasn't been processed. The documents I provided from my doctor are just sitting there. This is really starting to affect my ability to cover basic expenses. Has anyone else experienced such long delays? Any advice on how to speed up the process?

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from them end up there. Just a thought!
Good idea, but I've checked everywhere. No luck 😕

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on social media? I tweeted at the PFL account and surprisingly got a response. Worth a shot if you're desperate!

OP, make sure you're keeping track of all your expenses while you wait for this to get sorted out. You might be able to claim hardship and get some of the fees waived or expedited processing. Hang in there!
