PFL checks not received - started Jan 13, what to do?

Ugh, I feel you. The EDD is such a mess rn. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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. Check your UI Online account for any messages or updates 2. Make sure all your paperwork is submitted correctly 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a secure message through your UI Online account 4. Double-check that your mailing address is correct in the system 5. If it's been more than 14 days since your claim was approved, definitely follow up If none of that works, you might need to contact your local assemblymember or state senator. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

have you checked ur bank account? sometimes they deposit without notifying you lol. happened to me and i was stressing for no reason

The EDD is a joke. I've been waiting 3 months for my disability claim to be processed. This state is run by 🤡🤡🤡

Did you receive any checks at all? Or are you still waiting on the first one?

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a problem with my employer's wage report. Had to bug my HR dept to fix it. Maybe check with your work?

@Vanessa Chang - I went through something similar last year with my PFL claim. A few things that helped me: 1) Check if your claim status changed in UI Online - sometimes there are hidden issues that aren't obvious. 2) If you got the first two checks, your claim is likely approved, so this might just be a processing backlog. 3) Try faxing a follow-up inquiry to their PFL unit - sometimes fax gets through faster than calls. The number should be in your UI Online messages. Don't give up! It's frustrating but they usually sort it out eventually. Keep us posted on how it goes! 🙏
