PFL claim approved but only received one check - EDD delays?

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your claim status online. Sometimes there are updates there that don't get mailed out. 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. Missing even one can delay payments. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing them through the EDD website. It's slow, but they do respond eventually. 4. Contact your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push things along. 5. Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact EDD. This can be helpful if you need to file a complaint later. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off.

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes the checks show up there before u get the notice in the mail

This happened to me last year. Turns out they needed additional documentation but never told me. Check your online account for any messages or requests you might have missed.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue and it turned out my employer hadnt submitted some required info. might be worth checking with your HR if you can

The whole system is broken. We need to organize and demand better service from EDD. Who's with me? ✊

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds crazy in 2023, but I got a response within a week when I faxed my inquiry. Here's the number I used: 855-027-2666
