PFL EDD claim payments stopped since Jan 24 - No response from EDD. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. I haven't gotten any payments for my PFL EDD claim since January 24th. My claim started on January 12th, and it's been radio silence since then. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, that sucks! Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent to get through.

β’Yeah, I've been trying to call but it's impossible to get through. It's like they don't want us to reach them π

β’Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way!

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your claim status online. Sometimes there are updates there that don't get communicated. 2. Make sure all your paperwork is in order. Any missing docs can cause delays. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing them. Keep a record of all communication. 4. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite claims. 5. If all else fails, file a complaint with the EDD. It might light a fire under them. Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

Anyone know if there's been any changes to PFL processing recently? Seems like a lot of people are having issues lately.
