Filed for PFL in November, still no update from EDD. What should I do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting since October and still radio silence from EDD. It's like they've forgotten about us or something. 🤦‍♂️

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. Keep all your documentation organized 2. Try calling early in the morning, right when they open 3. If you can't get through, send a message through your online account 4. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things along 5. Be patient (I know, easier said than done) Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually.

anyone else think its crazy we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what were entitled to? the whole systems broken af 😤

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, log into your account and see if there are any messages or requests for additional info you might have missed.

I heard they're super backlogged because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Doesn't make the wait any easier tho 😩
