How to Cancel PFL Claim Online? EDD Website Options?

I don't think you can cancel it online. When I tried to do it last year, I had to call them directly. It was a pain in the butt to get through tho, be prepared to wait on hold for hours 😫

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone without waiting for hours. 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 to cancel your PFL claim: 1. Call the EDD PFL office at 1-877-238-4373 2. Have your claim ID ready 3. Explain to the rep that you want to cancel your claim 4. They might ask for a reason, so be prepared to explain 5. Make sure to get a confirmation number or email 6. Follow up in a few days to ensure it's been processed Unfortunately, there's no online option yet. The system is pretty archaic. Make sure you call during business hours (8am-5pm PT, Mon-Fri). And yeah, be ready for a long wait. Maybe have some Netflix queued up 😅

why do you need to cancel? if its cuz you went back to work early, you might not need to cancel the whole claim. you can just stop certifying

I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded while riding a unicycle. Anyone else feel like theyre living in a kafka novel when dealing with this stuff? 🤡

Pro tip: if you cant get thru on the main line, try calling right when they open. I got thru in like 10 mins doing that
