PFL Claim Filed Nov 4 - How Long for EDD to Process?
Hey everyone, I just filed for Paid Family Leave on November 4th. Anyone know how long it usually takes to process? I haven't heard anything back yet and I'm getting a bit anxious. Any tips on what to expect or how to check the status?

Welcome to the waiting game! š It typically takes a few weeks for EDD to process PFL claims. Have you tried checking your online account for any updates? Sometimes they post stuff there before sending out notices.

Yeah, the online portal is hit or miss tho. I've had updates there before getting mail, but sometimes it's radio silence everywhere š¤·āāļø

Pro tip: I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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?

Here's what I know about PFL processing times: ā¢ Typically takes 2-3 weeks for initial review ā¢ If all docs are in order, you might get approved in that timeframe ā¢ If they need more info, it could stretch to 4-6 weeks ā¢ First payment usually comes 1-2 weeks after approval Key things to speed it up: 1. Make sure all your docs are submitted correctly 2. Double-check your online account for any requests 3. If you don't hear back in 3 weeks, try calling (good luck with that tho) Hope this helps! Hang in there, the waiting is the worst part.

Honestly, the whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 6 weeks now and still nothing. California needs to get its act together š¤¬

6 weeks?! That's insane. Have you tried reaching out to your local rep? Sometimes they can help push things along
