EDD PFL for Baby Bonding - Payment Timeline After Receiving Notice of Computation?

Usually takes about 5-7 business days after receiving that Notice of Computation letter before payment is issued. If you set up direct deposit, you'll typically see funds 1-2 days after the payment is processed. If you're getting the EDD debit card, it could take an additional 5-7 days for the card to arrive if this is your first benefit period. The computation notice means your claim was approved, so you're in the final stages!

When I filed my baby bonding claim in January, it took exactly 6 days after getting that Notice of Computation letter before the money showed up in my account. But my friend who filed in March waited almost 2 weeks. The EDD system is completely unpredictable right now! If you're really worried, I used Claimyr to get through to an actual EDD representative when my payment was delayed. Their website (claimyr.com) has a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM?si=6N1iCQ3a8Cdb2Ay5. Saved me hours of frustration and hang-ups trying to reach someone. The agent was able to tell me exactly when my payment would hit my account.

congrats on gettin ur notice of computation! im still waitin on mine ugh filed 2 weeks ago and nothin. babies r expensive lol

If you got your Notice of Computation, that means your claim is APPROVED, so that's great news! But don't expect the money right away. The EDD is notorious for saying one thing and doing another. My timeline recently was: - Filed PFL claim: Feb 12, 2025 - Notice of Computation: Feb 27 (15 days later) - First payment: March 11 (12 days after NoC) So it was almost a MONTH from filing to payment. The system is completely BROKEN. They expect new parents to just magically pay bills while they sit on our claims. I'd recommend calling them ASAP to check on the payment status - sometimes they have issues they don't tell you about that delay payment.

The Notice of Computation isn't actually approval of your claim - it's just stating what your weekly benefit amount would be IF approved. However, in most cases, if you've received this notice, your claim is indeed likely to be approved. Typical processing time from Notice of Computation to first payment is 7-10 business days, assuming there are no issues with your claim or certifications. Make sure you've completed any certifications requested. For baby bonding PFL, you typically need to certify once at the beginning of your claim period, unlike disability which requires bi-weekly certifications. You can check your claim status in your UI Online account to see if there are any pending items requiring your attention. The transition from pregnancy disability to PFL for bonding is sometimes where delays happen, so if you used SDI recently, double-check that your claim type has been properly changed in the system.

Just wanted to share my recent experience - got my Notice of Computation on April 2nd and payment hit my account on April 9th. Seems like they're consistently taking about a week right now. Hang in there! And congrats on the new baby!!

wait so did u do the pregnancy disability first and now ur doing the baby bonding? im confused about how that works... im pregnant now and trying to figure out what to do when baby comes in august

Quick update based on the comments - if your UI Online account shows "Paid" with $0.00, that's actually good news. It means your claim is approved and payment is processing. You'll likely see the actual payment amount appear within 2-3 business days, and then funds in your account 1-2 days after that if you have direct deposit set up. One thing to note - for your first payment, they sometimes include multiple weeks at once, so don't be surprised if the amount is larger than you expected (that's a good surprise!).
