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? 🤔

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my claim about 2.5 weeks ago and haven't heard a peep. It's so stressful when you're expecting that money to help with all the new baby expenses. From what I'm reading here, sounds like we just need to be patient (easier said than done). Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - at least I know I'm not alone in this frustrating process!
