EDD PFL Nightmare: Unprofessional Agents & Employee Benefits at Risk - Help!

I found a way to solve EDD Paid Family Leave issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lshagaCuIWU

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD can be such a headache to deal with. I've had my fair share of unprofessional agents too. Have you tried escalating your issue to a supervisor? Sometimes that can help get things moving.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite EDD claims and get you in touch with the right people.

The whole system is broken af 🤬 I've been dealing with PFL issues for months now. It's like they don't even care about us regular folks trying to make ends meet.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for Paid Family Leave claims: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, including date, time, and who you spoke with. 2. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times to get the right person. 3. Use the online portal when possible. It's often faster than calling. 4. Know your rights. Familiarize yourself with PFL regulations so you can advocate for yourself. 5. If you're getting nowhere, consider contacting your state representative or filing a formal complaint. 6. Be polite but firm with agents. They're often overworked and understaffed. 7. Double-check all your paperwork before submitting. Small errors can cause big delays. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. The system is tough, but you'll get through it.

lol welcome to the club 🎉 EDD = Extremely Disappointing Department

Have you tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a quicker response.

Unprofessional agents are the worst. I had one hang up on me mid-sentence last week. Like, do your job??? We're not calling for fun, we need help!

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You're more likely to get through and the agents are usually less frazzled.
