EDD Error 324 when submitting PFL application online - Can't log in to account either. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my PFL application. I mailed it in about a month ago but haven't heard anything back. I tried to check online but I can't even log in to my EDD account. When I try to submit the PFL application online, I keep getting Error 324. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what to do next?

Ugh, the EDD system is such a nightmare! 🤦♂️ I had a similar issue with Error 324 when I was trying to file for unemployment. Have you tried clearing your browser cache or using a different browser? Sometimes that helps with weird glitches.

•Yeah, I tried using different browsers but no luck. Still getting that stupid error. It's so frustrating!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

•Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Keep trying to log in to your EDD account. Sometimes the system is just down temporarily. 2. If you can't log in after a few days, try resetting your password. 3. For the PFL application, if online doesn't work, you might need to mail in another copy. I know it sucks, but sometimes paper applications get lost. 4. Call EDD directly. Be prepared to wait on hold for a long time, but speaking to a real person can often solve these issues. 5. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Hang in there! The EDD system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk... but srsly, sometimes logging out of everything, clearing cookies, and trying again in a new browser session can help. worth a shot!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to sort out my PFL for weeks now. The whole system is a joke. Good luck to both of us! 🚣♂️

Pro tip: if you can't get through online or by phone, try faxing your application. I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes it actually works faster than mail or online submissions.
