PFL claim stuck since mid-December, no updates or funds. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated with my paid family leave claim. I submitted all the required paperwork over a month ago and haven't heard anything back. No updates, no money, nothing. It's been radio silence since mid-December. Anyone else dealing with this? The lack of funds is starting to stress me out big time.

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I need to get my Paid Family Leave computation letter from EDD to submit to my company. Has anyone gone through this process recently? Any tips on how to request it and get it sent quickly? I'm worried about missing deadlines at work.

LPT: If you cant get through on the main line, try calling one of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works for me!
Ooh, sneaky. I like it 😏 Which department do you usually try?
I've had luck with the general information line or even the employer line. Just play dumb if they ask why youre calling that number lol
guys. i literaly just got off the phone with EDD after trying for DAYS. heres what i did: 1. called exactly at 8:00:00 AM 2. chose spanish option (even tho i dont speak it) 3. got transfered to english speaking rep almost immediately 4. asked nicely for computation letter hope this helps someone!!!
Isn't that kinda unethical tho? Taking up a Spanish-speaking line when you don't need it?
desperate times call for desperate measures my friend 🤷♂️
EDD claim delays: IT issues and excuses. Anyone else stuck in limbo?
I've been dealing with delays in my unemployment claim processing for over a month now. I filed my original claim back in November and then had to submit a new one in early December. Every time I manage to get through to EDD, they give me a different excuse for the hold-up. First it was the holidays, then some IT issue with calculating weekly benefits. Anyone else experiencing these constant delays? It's getting really frustrating and I'm not sure what to do next.

has anyone else noticed that the edd website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? its like they're trolling us at this point 🤡
omg yes! I swear it's down more often than it's up. EDD needs to get their act together fr
I'm starting to think the "IT issues" are just their go-to excuse when they don't know what's going on. Like, how long does it take to fix a computer problem? 🤔
For real tho. My cousin works in IT and says most issues can be fixed pretty quick. EDD's just using it as a scapegoat imo
Maybe we should offer to fix it for them lol. Couldn't do any worse than they're doing now 😂
EDD PFL Email Verification Issue - Need Help ASAP!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble verifying my email with EDD for my Paid Family Leave claim. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to get it sorted out quickly? I've been trying to reach them but no luck so far.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Log into your EDD account 2. Go to 'Contact Us' section 3. Select 'Email Verification' as the reason for contact 4. Explain your issue in detail 5. Submit and wait for a response (usually within 5-7 business days) If that doesn't work, try calling the technical support line at 1-855-327-7057. They're sometimes easier to reach than the main line. Hope this helps!
Wow, thank you so much for the detailed steps! I'll definitely give this a try. 🙏
This is gold 💯 Saving this for future reference!
