have you tried faxing your documents? sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online

Just wanted to say hang in there, OP! I know how stressful this can be, especially with a newborn. You've got this! 💪

Quick question - did you upload all the required documents? Sometimes they don't process if something's missing.

lol welcome to EDD hell. grab a seat, you'll be here a while 🤡

have u tried calling them? sometimes u can get lucky and get thru if u call right when they open

Honestly, the whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 6 weeks now and still nothing. California needs to get its act together 🤬

Have you considered applying for emergency assistance through local charities or your county's social services while you wait for EDD to get their act together? Might help with those bills piling up.

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

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? 🎓🤦‍♂️

PSA: If you're having trouble with your claim, try reaching out to your state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can help push things through faster.

Anyone else notice that ever since they "upgraded" their system last year, everything's been even slower? 🤔 I miss the old website, at least it worked most of the time.

Hey OP, what reason did you put for your PFL? If it's for bonding with a new child, make sure you've included the birth certificate or adoption papers. That held up my claim for weeks!

The whole system is broken af. I've been trying to get my determination for MONTHS. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🤡

Quick question - did you receive any confirmation email after filing your claim? Sometimes there's info there about next steps.

Listen up, folks. I've been through the EDD wringer and here's what I've learned: • Always, ALWAYS keep copies of everything you submit • Set up email notifications for your EDD account • Check your spam folder regularly • If you can't get through on the phone, try their social media accounts • Be patient but persistent Remember, the system is overloaded, but keep at it. You'll get your money eventually!

Anyone else feel like we're all just stuck in some kind of EDD limbo? It's like a bad dream that never ends 😴💤

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔

LPT: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right at 7:59am. The lines open at 8, and you might get lucky and be first in queue.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: • Faxed timesheets usually take 7-10 business days to process • Online submissions are faster, usually 3-5 business days • If you haven't heard anything after 2 weeks, definitely follow up • Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them • Try calling first thing in the morning or right before they close for better chances of getting through • Be prepared for long hold times if you do call • Check your EDD account online regularly for updates Hope this helps! The waiting game sucks, but hang in there.
