EDD Paid Family Leave payments stopped since August - Need help!

I found a way to solve EDD payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PAriWvd-8o

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting since July for my disability payments. The system is so broken 😤

I found a method 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 worked for me: 1. Call right when they open at 8am 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and redial immediately 3. Keep doing this until you get through 4. Once in the queue, DO NOT HANG UP 5. Have all your info ready (claim number, dates, etc.) It took me about 45 minutes of redialing, but I finally got through. Good luck!

have you checked your online account? sometimes there pending issues that need to be resolved before they can release payment

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's not equipped to handle high volume situations like covid or recessions. We deserve better!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you internally to the right person. I got through by calling the tax department lol
