EDD system error erased my PFL claim submission - need receipt number help!

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried checking your email for any confirmation messages? Sometimes they send those automatically.

I feel your pain! The EDD system is a nightmare. I've been dealing with them for months and it's always one problem after another. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that helps with weird glitches.

Pro tip: 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 a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Take a deep breath. These things happen more often than you'd think. 2. Try logging in again after a few hours. Sometimes the system needs time to update. 3. If that doesn't work, call the EDD directly. Be prepared for a long wait. 4. When you get through, explain the situation calmly. Ask if they can retrieve your submission or receipt number. 5. If they can't find it, you might need to resubmit. Ask the agent to note your account about the system error. 6. In the future, always screenshot confirmation pages or write down info immediately. 7. Consider using a password manager to auto-save form submissions. Hang in there! It's frustrating, but you'll get it sorted out. 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government websites 🤡 where nothing works and everything's made up

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😜 But seriously, these systems are so outdated. It's ridiculous we have to deal with this in 2023.

Oof, I'm in the same boat. Been trying to sort out my claim for weeks now. The whole system needs an overhaul tbh. Hang in there!

Hot take: maybe if we all complain enough on Twitter, they'll finally update their system? 🤔
