Applied for family bonding leave a month ago, no payment or updates. Anyone else experiencing delays with EDD?
I applied for family bonding leave last month and still haven't gotten paid or any update on my claim. It's been weeks and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced long delays with their family leave claims? What should I do next?

EDD messed up my baby's DOB on PFL application - worried about payment delays
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my paid family leave application. I submitted it about a week ago, but I haven't heard anything back yet. To make matters worse, I just realized they have my baby's birth date wrong on the application. I'm worried this might delay my payment. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to get this sorted out quickly?

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling one of their auxiliary numbers and ask to be transferred. Worked for me!
Ooh, sneaky. I like it 😈
PFL bonding claim filed 9/4 - no response yet. What to ask when I call EDD?
Hey everyone, I filed for Paid Family Leave bonding on September 4th and haven't heard anything back yet. It's been over a week and I'm getting a bit anxious. Has anyone else experienced long wait times for their PFL bonding claim? Any tips on what I should do or ask when I finally get through to an agent? I'm planning to call them soon and want to make sure I cover all my bases.

Quick question - did you make sure to certify for your weeks? Sometimes people forget that step and it holds up the whole process.
Oh, I didn't realize I had to certify for PFL bonding. How do I do that?
For PFL bonding, you usually don't need to certify each week like with UI. My bad, I got them mixed up! 😅 Disregard my previous comment.
Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD claims.
I hadn't thought of that! How would I go about contacting them?
Just google your district and 'assembly member'. Their office usually has a form or contact info for constituent services. They deal with EDD issues all the time!
PFL Claim submitted weeks ago - no notice, no payment. What to do?
Hey everyone, I submitted my PFL claim a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. I'm getting worried because I haven't received any notice or payment. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to figure out if they've even received my claim and when I might get paid. Any advice on what to ask when I finally get through to someone?

This is why we need better family leave policies in this country. The system is broken and it's hurting families when they need support the most. 😡
