EDD contacted me about PFL claim - what to expect next?

Congrats on hearing back! That's a good sign. When I got contacted, they just wanted to verify some info. Make sure you have all your docs ready. Good luck!

Ugh, I've been waiting for weeks and still nothing. Anyone know how to actually get through to a real person there?

Make sure you keep a record of all your communications with EDD. It can be a lifesaver if theres any confusion later on.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Just got contacted last week. They asked for some additional medical documentation. Apparently, thats pretty common for PFL claims.

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to be moving faster lately? I filed my claim 2 weeks ago and already got a response. Maybe they finally got their act together?

Here's what you need to know about EDD contacting you for Paid Family Leave: 1. Verification: They'll likely want to verify your information. This includes personal details, employment info, and reason for leave. 2. Documentation: Be prepared to provide additional documentation. This could be medical certificates, birth certificates (for bonding leave), or other relevant papers. 3. Timeline: After initial contact, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on your case complexity. 4. Questions: They might have specific questions about your claim. Be honest and provide as much detail as possible. 5. Next Steps: They should outline what happens next. This could be approval, request for more info, or in some cases, denial. 6. Appeals: If there's any issue, remember you have the right to appeal decisions. Remember to respond promptly to any requests. Delays on your end can slow down the whole process. Good luck with your claim!

ugh why is everything with government so complicated? shouldnt this be easier by now?
