Missed EDD call about PFL application - What to do next?

Ugh, I hate when that happens! I've been there before. Have you tried calling them back? It's usually a nightmare to get through, but it's worth a shot.

I found a method to 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. Check your voicemail and see if they left any specific instructions. 2. Log into your EDD account online and check for any new messages or updates. 3. If you can't find any info there, try calling them back at 1-877-238-4373. 4. Be prepared with your application number and any other relevant info. 5. If you can't get through, consider using the online contact form on the EDD website. Remember, persistence is key! Don't give up, and good luck!

am i the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? the system is broken af 🤮

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in your account.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out they needed additional documentation. Check your online account, there might be a message there you missed.

Anyone else notice that the EDD seems to be getting worse lately? I swear it used to be easier to get ahold of someone...

Don't panic! This happens more often than you'd think. When they call, it's usually just to verify some details or ask for additional documentation. Here's what worked for me: try calling the general PFL line at 1-877-238-4373 first thing in the morning (like 8 AM sharp). If that doesn't work, you can also try the SDI line at 1-800-480-3287. In the meantime, log into your EDD account online and check for any pending tasks or messages. Sometimes they'll send you a notice through the portal even if they tried calling. The key is to respond quickly once you do connect with them. Good luck! 🤞
