Applied for family bonding leave a month ago, no payment or updates. Anyone else experiencing delays with EDD?

I found a way to solve family leave claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euClLW1qQLw

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Applied for family leave 6 weeks ago and crickets 🦗 The waiting game is brutal. Have you tried calling them?

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what I've learned from my experience with family bonding claims: 1. Be patient. It can take up to 4-6 weeks for processing. 2. Make sure all your paperwork is in order. Any missing docs can cause major delays. 3. If you haven't heard anything after 4 weeks, definitely try to contact them. 4. Keep a record of all your attempts to contact them. 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative if you're really stuck. Hang in there! The system is slow, but it usually works out in the end.

have u checked ur claim status online? sometimes they update there b4 they send anything out

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. 😡

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you submitted your application? I'm about to apply and want to know what to expect.
