PFL application not showing on EDD website after 3 weeks - What to do?

I found a way to solve EDD application delays and callbacks, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qPWaz9fUE

Yeah, typically if you don't get a callback on the same day, your application will roll over to the next business day. But man, waiting 3 weeks with no update? That's rough. Have you tried calling them directly?

3 weeks is actually not that long in EDD time lol. I waited 2 months before I saw anything on my account. The system is beyond broken at this point.

I found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep checking your EDD account daily. Sometimes updates appear without notification. 2. Try calling early in the morning or late afternoon. Those are usually less busy times. 3. If you can't get through, consider using an auto-dialer or a service like Claimyr (as mentioned in another comment). 4. Document everything. Keep a log of when you applied, any correspondence, and your attempts to contact them. 5. Reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can often help push things along. 6. Check if you filled out all forms correctly. A small mistake can cause delays. 7. Be patient (I know it's hard). The system is overwhelmed, but they will get to your application. Hang in there. I know it's stressful, but you will get your benefits eventually.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there

Ugh, EDD is such a joke. They expect us to live on air while they take their sweet time? 🙄 The whole system needs an overhaul.

Has anyone had luck with the EDD's online chat feature? I've heard mixed things.

I'm dealing with something similar - applied for PFL about 2 weeks ago and still nothing showing up in my account. The waiting is killing me financially! I've been trying the early morning call strategy mentioned here, but even at 8am sharp I get the busy signal. Has anyone had success with filing a complaint or escalating through other channels? I'm wondering if there's a way to at least get confirmation that they received the application properly.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my PFL application 2.5 weeks ago and absolutely nothing in my online account. It's so stressful when you're counting on that money. I've been following some of the advice here - tried calling at 8am on the dot but still can't get through. One thing that helped me a little was checking if my employer submitted their portion correctly (if applicable). Sometimes delays happen on their end too. Also keeping screenshots of everything and documenting all my attempts to contact them. Really considering trying that Claimyr service even though I'm skeptical about paying for something that should be free. This whole system is just broken. Sending you solidarity - we shouldn't have to jump through these hoops when we're already dealing with family situations that qualify us for PFL in the first place! 😔
