PFL Payment Not Received After EDD Processing Complete - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my PFL payment. The EDD processing is complete, but I still haven't received any money. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next? I'm getting worried because bills are piling up and I really need this payment to come through.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat! It's been weeks since my claim was processed and still nothing. Have you tried calling them? I've been trying for days but can't get through 😤

I've tried calling but no luck. It's so frustrating! How long have you been waiting?

Going on 3 weeks now. This is ridiculous. They should atleast give us an update or something!

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

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but it really worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

How long did you have to wait before they connected you?

It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to do anything. Just got a call when an agent was ready.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documents: claim confirmation, EDD notices, payment details, etc. 2. Call EDD and ask them to verify if there are any holds on your account. 3. If they say everything looks good, ask for a specific timeframe for the payment. 4. If they can't give you a clear answer, request to speak with a supervisor. 5. Document everything: who you spoke to, what they said, and any case numbers they give you. 6. If you still don't get anywhere, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off. Good luck!

OMG the EDD is such a joke. I swear they're playing games with our money. Anyone else feel like theyre living in a clown world? 🤡

Has anyone tried contacting their state rep about this? I've heard some success stories

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My PFL claim shows "processed" online but it's been over 2 weeks with no payment. I called yesterday and finally got through after 4 hours on hold - they told me there's a "system delay" affecting payments but couldn't give me a timeline. Super frustrating when you're counting on that money! Has anyone had luck with the EDD debit card vs direct deposit? Wondering if one method is faster than the other right now.
