EDD denied PFL claim, thinks I'm getting full wages but only got 40%. Appeal sent, no response. Help!

I found a way to solve PFL claim wrongly denied, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5gzBxQSdns

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess. I had a similar issue with my SDI claim. They kept saying I was getting full pay when I wasnt. It took forever to get it sorted out. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes talking to a real person can help.

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your pay stubs for the period in question 2. Write a detailed letter explaining your situation, including exact dates and amounts 3. Include any communication from your employer about reduced wages 4. Send everything certified mail so you have proof they received it 5. Follow up with a phone call (use the trick others mentioned to get through) 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along Dont give up! The system is broken but you gotta keep fighting. Good luck!

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where the rules are made up and your needs don't matter

Have you considered getting a lawyer? Sometimes just having legal representation can light a fire under them. Many employment lawyers offer free consultations.

Ive been dealing with EDD for 6 months now. heres my advice: document EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every email. You never know what might be important later. And dont be afraid to escalate to a supervisor if youre not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to. Stay strong!

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels. That's why everything takes so long 🐹🎡

Quick question - did you submit your appeal online or by mail? I've heard the online system is faster, but idk if that's true.

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out there was a glitch in the system that was misreporting employer data. Might be worth asking if theres been any known issues like that recently.

This is such a frustrating situation! I'm dealing with something similar right now. EDD seems to have issues with their employer wage verification system. A few things that might help: 1. Make sure you have documentation showing the exact 40% you received - pay stubs, direct deposit records, anything official 2. If your employer has an HR department, see if they can provide a letter confirming the reduced wages during your leave period 3. Check if there's a specific form for reporting partial wage replacement - sometimes EDD just needs it in their exact format The appeal process is painfully slow, but don't give up! I've heard some people have success reaching out to their state assembly member's office for help navigating EDD issues. They sometimes have direct contacts that can expedite things. Hang in there - you're definitely not alone in this mess! 💪
