EDD PFL claim dates changed without notice - 6/1 to 9/11. What to do?

I found a way to solve incorrect Paid Family Leave dates, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTMl4S_TROQ

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue with my disability claim last year. Have you tried calling the EDD office? They might be able to explain why the dates changed.

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was messing up start dates for a bunch of people. You definitely need to get in touch with them ASAP to get it fixed.

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 do: 1. Document everything. Take screenshots of your original claim submission and the current status showing the wrong date. 2. Try to contact EDD through multiple channels - phone, email, and their online portal if possible. 3. If you can't get through, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help escalate your case. 4. While waiting for a response, gather any supporting documents that prove your intended start date (like doctor's notes or employer correspondence). 5. Be persistent but polite when you do get through. Sometimes it's just a simple data entry error that can be fixed quickly. 6. If all else fails, you might need to file a formal appeal. There should be instructions on how to do this on the EDD website. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system can be frustrating, but don't give up! Good luck!

have you checked if theres any holidays or weekends that might have affected the start date? sometimes they adjust for that

OMG I'm in the exact same boat rn! 😭 My dates got changed too and I've been freaking out. Let me know if you figure out how to fix it!

This is why I always tell people to keep copies of EVERYTHING they submit to EDD. You never know when you'll need to prove what you originally sent in.

Have you tried checking your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. They might have sent you a notification about the date change.

plot twist: maybe you accidentally typed the wrong date when you submitted your claim? 🤔
