EDD Baby Bonding Payments Delayed - No Money After Maternity Leave Ended

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. The system is so slow sometimes. Have you tried calling them? It might be worth a shot to see if there's any hold-up with your paperwork.

I found a method to 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 you need to know about baby bonding payments: • They typically start within 2 weeks after your claim is approved • Make sure all your paperwork is filled out correctly • Double-check that your employer submitted their portion • If it's been more than 3 weeks, definitely follow up • Keep a record of all your communications If you're still having trouble, consider reaching out to your local representative. They can sometimes help expedite things.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy 🤡 I swear they make it complicated on purpose

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out payments.

I'm in the same boat rn. Been waiting for 5 weeks now. This system is so broken 😤

Quick question - did you file for baby bonding immediately after your maternity leave ended? There shouldn't be a gap between the two, otherwise it might cause delays.

This might sound weird, but have you tried reaching out on Twitter? I've seen some people get responses that way.

Sending positive vibes your way, mama! 💖 This stuff is stressful enough without having to chase down payments. Hope it gets sorted soon!
