EDD PFL Application: 48+ hours, no response. Normal wait time?

I found a way to solve EDD paid family leave delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4cvvAopb9k

Congrats on your new baby! 🎉 But yeah, EDD is notoriously slow. I waited almost two weeks before I heard anything back when I applied for PFL. Hang in there!

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

the EDD system is such a joke. took me 3 months to get my first payment for disability. good luck with your baby and don't hold your breath waiting for edd to get their act together

Here's what you need to know about Paid Family Leave (PFL) in California: 1. Processing Time: Typically takes about 2 weeks, but can be longer. 2. Eligibility: You must have paid into State Disability Insurance (SDI) in the past 5-18 months. 3. Duration: Up to 8 weeks of partial pay. 4. Amount: About 60-70% of your wages earned 5-18 months before your claim start date. 5. Application: Can be done online through SDI Online. 6. Required Docs: Birth certificate, social security number, and employment info. If you haven't heard back after 2 weeks, definitely give them a call. The wait times can be brutal, so be prepared. Good luck and congrats on your new addition!

have you tried checking your claim status online? sometimes they update there before sending any notifications

Ugh, EDD is the worst. I swear they're stuck in the stone age or something. Why does everything take so long with them? 🙄
