Finally got EDD to fix my PFL paperwork after weeks of calling! Any success stories?
Finally got through to EDD and fixed my Paid Family Leave paperwork! The employee I spoke with went above and beyond to help me and my family member. It took forever, but persistence paid off. Anyone else have success stories to share?

It took me about 3 weeks of calling every day. I was ready to give up, but then I got lucky with an amazing employee who really cared. Don't lose hope!

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

It took about 2 hours total. Way better than the days I spent trying on my own!

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week!

Ugh, I'm so tired of dealing with EDD. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us to get help. Anyone else feel like the system is broken?

For real. We need some serious reform in how these agencies operate

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: ā¢ Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. ā¢ Have all your paperwork ready before you call. ā¢ Take detailed notes during your call, including the name of who you spoke with. ā¢ If one rep can't help, politely ask to speak with a supervisor. ā¢ Check your online account regularly for updates. ā¢ Don't be afraid to reach out to your local representative for help. Hope this helps someone else navigate this mess!
