EDD PFL payment delays - anyone else waiting forever?

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD system is such a mess rn. I waited FOREVER for my PFL payment too. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, 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

Here's what I've learned from my experience with PFL: • First, make sure all your paperwork is in order. Double-check that you've submitted everything they need. • Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to contact EDD. • If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through your online account. • Sometimes, reaching out to your local state representative's office can help push things along. • Be patient (I know it's hard) and persistent. The system is overwhelmed, but they will eventually get to your claim. Hang in there! It's a frustrating process, but you'll get your payment eventually.

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes the payment goes thru but they dont notify u 🤷‍♂️

I'm in the same boat, waiting on my PFL payment for weeks now. This whole system is a joke. We pay into it, but when we need it, it's impossible to get help. 😤

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers (like the employer line or tech support). Sometimes you can get transferred to the right department that way. It's not guaranteed, but worth a shot!

Guys, I heard they're updating the EDD system next month. Supposedly it'll make everything faster. Anyone know if that's true or just another empty promise? 🤔

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading online? I've heard it can sometimes be faster. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.

OP, make sure you're checking your spam folder too! I almost missed an important EDD email cuz it went straight to spam. They really need to get their act together 🙄
