PFL claim pending online but no info when calling - How to reach a rep?
I'm having trouble with my paid family leave claim. I submitted it online and it shows as pending in my account, but when I called the automated system, it said there was no information for my social security number. I really need to speak with someone to get my claim processed and started. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get through to a representative?

PFL payment delayed beyond 14 days - EDD notice said it'd arrive by now, what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having issues with my Paid Family Leave payment. I got a notice on September 19th saying I should receive payment within 14 days, but it's been longer than that and still nothing. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? What should I do when I call them? I'm getting worried because I really need this money.

Not to freak you out, but watch out for identity theft. There's been a lot of fraud with EDD lately. Make sure when you call that all your info is correct in their system.
Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that! Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely check.
guys. i just got off the phone with EDD. apparently theres a system-wide delay affecting PFL payments. they said it should be resolved in the next week or so. hang in there!
Classic EDD... always something with their systems 🙄
A week or so in EDD time could mean a month lol. But thanks for the update!
EDD Error E324 when submitting baby bonding app - multiple accounts issue?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my baby bonding application. I keep getting Error E324 when I try to submit it. I think it might be because I created a new account with a different email address than the one I used before. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any advice on how to fix it?

Ive been dealing with EDD for 6 months now. My advice? Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need that info.
THIS 👆 Cannot stress this enough. EDD lost my paperwork twice and having records saved my butt.
Help with PFL form: Questions about other pay, verification, and required documents
Hey everyone, I'm filling out my paid family leave form for the first time and I've got a few questions. I'm trying to avoid delays in my application. Can anyone help me out? 1. Why are they asking about other pay I received during my time off? I marked sick pay for COVID, but the time I'm requesting for pay starts after that period. 2. What's the deal with the last page before verification? Is there supposed to be a checklist or something? 3. After I finish, will I get instructions on how to upload Part C of the verification portion? I think Part D gets turned in for me. 4. Do I need to include any other documents like a W-2 or pay stub? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Anyone else feel like they designed these forms to be as confusing as possible? 🤔 It's like they WANT us to make mistakes.
FOR REAL THO 💯 I swear they do it on purpose to deny more claims
Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The system's just old and clunky.
EDD system error erased my PFL claim submission - need receipt number help!
I just finished submitting my paid family leave claim and the system kicked me out before I could write down the confirmation info. Now when I try to log back in, there's no record of my submission. I really need that receipt number for the physician confirmation part. Has anyone else dealt with this? It's so frustrating when these system errors make something simple so complicated!

Oof, I'm in the same boat. Been trying to sort out my claim for weeks now. The whole system needs an overhaul tbh. Hang in there!
Weeks? I've been at it for MONTHS. 😭 Starting to feel like I'm gonna retire before this gets resolved lmao
Ugh, that's rough buddy. Hopefully we'll both get our issues sorted soon! 🤞

I wonder if we could start a class action lawsuit for all the stress and financial hardship caused by these delays. This is getting ridiculous!
