PFL Application Submitted in November - No Updates from EDD. What to Do?

I found a way to solve long PFL application wait times, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGebMOG9BIo

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD is such a mess rn. I waited 3 months for my PFL app to be processed. Have you tried calling them? Fair warning tho, it's like trying to win the lottery getting through 🙄

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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update stuff there before sending mail. Also, double-check your spam folder just in case!

Bruh, the EDD is a joke 🤡 I've been waiting on my disability claim for like 6 months now. Good luck getting any info from them lmao

Here's what I'd recommend based on my experience with PFL: 1. Keep calling. It sucks, but persistence pays off. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. Send a follow-up through the online portal if possible. 4. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 6. If you're really desperate, that paid calling service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? the system is broken af 😤

Hey OP, just curious - did you get any kind of confirmation when you submitted your application? Might be worth double-checking that it actually went through.
