EDD PFL claim - letter says missing info but doesn't specify what. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my paid family leave claim. The letter I got says there's missing information, but it doesn't specify what exactly is missing. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to figure out what they need from me?

Ugh, I've been there. The EDD can be so frustrating with their vague letters. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get a straight answer.

I've been trying to call all morning, but the lines are always busy. It's driving me crazy! 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through that way.

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

I get it, but for me, it was worth it. Time is money, and I wasted so much time trying to get through on my own.

Check your online account if you haven't already. Sometimes they update the info there before sending out letters.

This happened to me last year. Turns out they needed additional medical certification from my doctor. Might be worth checking with your healthcare provider to see if they received any requests from EDD.

Oh, that's a good idea! I'll give my doctor's office a call. Thanks!

The whole system is a joke. They make it so hard to get basic information. I swear they do it on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. 🤡

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for paid family leave claims: 1. Double-check all your submitted documents. Make sure you've filled out every field, even if it doesn't apply (write N/A). 2. Verify that your employer has submitted their portion of the information. 3. If you're claiming for bonding time, ensure you've provided the birth certificate or adoption papers. 4. For medical leave, make sure your healthcare provider has completed the medical certification form thoroughly. 5. Check if your identity verification is up to date. Sometimes they require additional proof. 6. Look for any correspondence in your online account - sometimes they send messages there that don't come by mail. 7. If all else fails, calling is usually the best bet. Be persistent and try different times of the day. Remember, patience is key. The system is frustrating, but eventually, you'll get it sorted out. Good luck!
