PFL application stuck in EDD limbo for 2 weeks, rent due - need urgent help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but it's the only way I got any 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 any notifications.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes you can catch them with shorter wait times.

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before and I've got some tips that might help: • First, don't panic. I know it's tough with rent due, but EDD is notoriously slow. • Double-check your online account. Sometimes they update there first. • If you haven't already, send a follow-up through your online account. Be polite but firm. • Call early in the morning, like right when they open. Be prepared to redial... a lot. • If you can't get through, try reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They often have contacts at EDD and can help push things along. • Document everything. Every call, every attempt, every communication. • If you're really in a bind, look into emergency rent assistance programs in your area. • Lastly, breathe. This process sucks, but you'll get through it. Hang in there, OP. We're all rooting for you! 💪

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard it can work

This is why I'm scared to apply for PFL. The whole system seems like a mess. Good luck, OP!

Two weeks aint that long tbh. I waited 6 weeks before I heard anything back. Just gotta be patient

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The system is rigged against us, I swear.
