PFL claim filed Dec 12, no payment yet - EDD delays?

Ugh, I feel ya. The EDD is so slow these days 🐌 Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, 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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any notices.

I'm in the same boat, filed in November and still waiting. This is rediculous. How are we supposed to survive with no income?

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account daily for updates 2. Make sure all your paperwork is complete and accurate 3. Try calling first thing in the morning (8:01 AM exactly) 4. If you can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr 5. Contact your local assembly member's office - they can sometimes help speed things up 6. Keep a detailed log of all your attempts to contact EDD Hang in there, OP. The system is slow, but you'll get your money eventually. Don't give up!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎪🤡 where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter

Has anyone else noticed that PFL claims seem to be taking longer lately? I wonder if there's been a policy change or if they're just swamped.

Quick question for the OP - did you get any confirmation email or letter after filing? Sometimes they send important info that way.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try geting a part-time job while you wait? I know its not ideal, but it could help with the bills.
