PFL Payment Delayed After Submitting Hours Paperwork - Any Advice?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling the EDD office? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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 the status there before sending out payments. Might give you some info on whats going on with your claim.

OMG, the EDD system is such a mess rn. I've been waiting for my disability payments for MONTHS. It's like they don't even care that people are struggling to pay bills. 😭

Here's what I've learned from my experience with PPL claims: 1. Double-check all your paperwork. Make sure you didn't miss any signatures or dates. 2. If you haven't already, create an online account and check your claim status regularly. 3. Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to contact EDD. 4. Consider reaching out to your employer to make sure they submitted their part correctly. 5. As a last resort, contact your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing and you'll get your payment eventually.

anyone else feel like were living in a black mirror episode? 🤡 government systems failing, people cant get their money, and were all just here commiserating on reddit. what a time to be alive lmao

Hey OP, how long ago did you submit your paperwork? I've heard they're really backed up right now due to all the claims from the pandemic.

Pro tip: if you fax your documents instead of mailing them, it can speed up the process. I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but it worked for me!
