PFL application stuck pending after DI transition - online benefit amount blank, notice received in mail. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. The online system can be so frustrating. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes talking to a real person can help speed things up.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your documents. Make sure you have everything they might ask for. 2. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence pays off. 3. Check your spam folder. Sometimes important emails end up there. 4. If you can, go to an EDD office in person. It's a hassle, but can be faster. 5. Write down your claim number and have it ready when you call. 6. Be polite but firm when you talk to them. Don't let them brush you off. Hang in there! The system is slow, but it'll work out eventually.

have you checked your mail carefully? sometimes they send requests for additional info that look like junk mail lol. i almost missed mine and it delayed my claim for weeks 🤦‍♀️

This happened to me too! It's because of the transition from DI to PFL. You need to call and make sure they linked your claims properly. It's a common issue but they can fix it pretty quick once you get someone on the phone.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite claims. Worth a shot if you're really stuck!

ugh im in the exact same boat rn. its so stressful. solidarity, sister! 💪 let us know if you figure anything out

Plot twist: what if we all showed up at the EDD office dressed as clowns? Maybe then they'd take us seriously 🤡

Hey Connor! I just went through this exact same situation a few months ago. The blank benefit amount online is super common when transitioning from DI to PFL - it's like their system gets confused. Since you already got the notice of computation in the mail, that's actually a good sign! It means they've calculated your benefits. The online portal just takes forever to update sometimes. I'd definitely try calling first thing in the morning like Keisha suggested, but also keep checking your mail for any follow-up requests. In my case, it took about 3-4 weeks total but once it went through, I got all the backpay. Hang in there! 🤞
