EDD PFL Claim Stuck in Conflict Loop - Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue with my claim - kept getting error messages and couldn't move forward. Have you tried calling them directly? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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

Have you checked your online account for any updates or messages? Sometimes they send important info there that doesn't come through email or regular mail.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was causing conflicts with certain types of claims. It took forever, but I finally got it sorted out by speaking with a supervisor. Don't give up! Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Ask to speak with a supervisor or claims specialist if the regular rep can't help. 4. Check if there are any local EDD offices you can visit in person. Sometimes face-to-face works better. 5. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have contacts at EDD who can help push things through. Hang in there! It's a broken system, but you'll get through it eventually.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I'm dealing with the exact same issue rn! It's so annoying. I've been trying to get this sorted for over a month now. Let me know if you find a solution!

Have you considered reaching out to a legal aid organization? Some offer free consultations for EDD issues. They might be able to help you navigate the system or even advocate on your behalf.

edd needs to get there act together fr. how are ppl supposed to survive when they cant even get there benefits??? smh

Hey, former EDD employee here. The conflict notification usually means there's an issue with overlapping claim periods or inconsistent information. It's a pain, but you need to talk to someone to clear it up. Try calling first thing in the morning or right before they close - those are usually the best times to get through.
