EDD Paid Parental Leave: No response after 3 weeks, when to expect payment?

I found a way to solve paid parental leave payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjmFDxC2mfU

Congrats on the new addition to your family! In my experience, it typically takes about 7-10 business days to receive payment after speaking with an agent, assuming everything is in order. Have you received any notices or letters from EDD regarding your claim?

3 weeks is nothing, unfortunately. I waited 2 months before I saw a dime. The EDD is swamped with claims. Keep calling and checking your online account for updates. Patience is key here, but also be persistent!

Hey, 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 I've learned from my experience with paid parental leave: • The process can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks, depending on your case and current workload • Make sure ALL your paperwork is filled out correctly. Any mistakes can cause major delays • Keep checking your online account daily for updates • If you haven't heard anything after 4 weeks, start calling • Be prepared to wait on hold for hours (or use a service like others have mentioned) • Document everything: dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said • If you're really struggling, reach out to your local representative. They can sometimes help expedite things Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but you'll get your money eventually.

have u tried faxing ur docs? I heard that can speed things up sometimes

ugh im in the same boat. 5 weeks and nothing. this system is so broken 🤬

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way!

Anyone else feel like we need to start a class action lawsuit against EDD for all this bs? 🤔
