Has anyone had any luck with appealing a denial? Just got mine rejected and I'm not sure what to do next...

Okay, I've been dealing with EDD for a while now, so here's what I've learned: • Be persistent! Don't give up if you don't hear back right away. • Double-check all your paperwork before submitting. One small error can delay everything. • Keep detailed records of all your communications with EDD. • If possible, try to get through on the phone. Sometimes talking to a real person can resolve issues faster. • Check your online account regularly for updates. • If you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes can help push things along. • Remember, refunds can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. It's frustrating, but try to be patient. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together, folks. 💪

have u tried faxing ur application? I know it sounds old school but I heard from a friend that sometimes it gets processed faster that way

Just a heads up, I've heard they're super backed up due to a new system update. Might be why everythings taking so long. Doesn't make it any less frustrating tho 😑

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy 🤡 where everything takes forever and nothing makes sense

Hey OP, just wanted to say don't lose hope. I know it's tough waiting, but your claim will get processed eventually. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds crazy in 2023 but I got a response within a week when I faxed my question in 🤷‍♂️

Not to be that person, but have you checked the EDD website FAQ? Sometimes the answer is hiding in plain sight there.

I heard they're super backlogged because of all the covid claims still. Might be why it's taking so long for everyone.

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes foreverrrrr 🦥

Hey OP, what specific type of PFL are you applying for? The process can vary depending on if it's for bonding, caregiving, or something else.

Pro tip: set up email alerts for your claim status. Sometimes they update it without notifying you directly. Saved me a bunch of unnecessary stress!

Does anyone know if theres a way to check your payment status online? I'm tired of waiting on hold for hours just to get a simple update.

I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to nail jello to a wall. Anyone else feel like they're getting the runaround every time they call? 😤

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes that gets faster results than submitting online.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating when you're trying to plan for your family and the system moves at a snail's pace. Sending positive vibes your way, OP!

I've given up on calling. I'm just gonna keep filing online and hope for the best. This system is so broken.

Hey OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a lot depending on location.

unpopular opinion: maybe we shoud all just get jobs instead of relying on the goverment 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone tried the new EDD mobile app? Wondering if it's any better than the website.
