How to cancel/correct inaccurate PFL claim? Can't reach EDD!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I filed for paid family leave but realized there were some inaccuracies in my application. Now I'm trying to cancel it or make corrections, but I can't seem to get through to anyone. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to fix an inaccurate paid family leave claim?

Ugh, I feel your pain! The system is such a mess. I had to cancel my claim last year and it was a nightmare. Have you tried faxing them? Sometimes that works better than calling.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂 But seriously, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot if I can't get through on the phone.

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

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

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

Can you give more details about how it works? Is it legit?

Yeah, it's legit. You just put in the number you want them to call, pay, and they start calling. When they get a real person, your phone rings. Simple as that.

Here's what you need to do to cancel or correct your paid family leave claim: 1. Document everything: Write down all the inaccuracies in your original claim. 2. Prepare a written statement: Explain why you need to cancel or correct your claim. 3. Gather supporting documents: Any proof that supports your need for cancellation or correction. 4. Contact EDD: Call their Paid Family Leave number (1-877-238-4373) or use the online portal if available. 5. Be persistent: You might need to try multiple times to get through. 6. Follow up in writing: Send a certified letter with your request and documentation. 7. Keep records: Note down all your communication attempts, including dates and times. Remember, patience is key. The system is overwhelmed, but keep trying. Good luck!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always get through within 15 minutes if I call at 8:01 AM.
