EDD Paternity Leave Payment Delay - No Updates, What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble getting my paternity leave payment. I submitted all the necessary documents a while ago, but still haven't received anything. No notices or letters from EDD either. Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice on how to speed things up? I'm starting to get worried about bills piling up while I'm off work.

The whole system is broken. I've been waiting 3 months for my disability payments. This country is a joke when it comes to supporting families and workers. We need major reform.

Preach! 🙌 It's ridiculous how hard they make it to get the benefits we're entitled to.

Careful, you're starting to sound like a socialist 😉 But for real, I agree. The system is messed up.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about paternity leave payments: • Processing time is usually 2-3 weeks after they receive all your documents • Make sure you've submitted your claim within 41 days of the first day you want benefits to begin • Double-check that your employer submitted their required forms too • If it's been more than a month, definitely try to contact EDD • Keep an eye on your online account for updates • Sometimes payments can be delayed if there are any discrepancies or missing info Hope this helps! Hang in there, new dad. 💪

Ugh, I feel ya man. The EDD is such a mess rn. I waited like 2 months for my first payment. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying to call but can never get through. It's so frustrating! How many times did you have to try before you got someone on the line?

Oof, I feel that. I think I tried like 50+ times over a couple weeks before I finally got through. It's ridiculous. Keep trying tho, eventually you'll get lucky!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through on my third try doing that. Good luck!

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 the link: https://claimyr.com

20 bucks? That's highway robbery! The government should make this easier for free 😤

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Used it twice now. Yeah, it sucks to pay, but for me it was worth it to finally get answers. Saved me hours of frustration.

Can confirm, I've used it too. Expensive but effective when you're desperate.
