PFL claim filed a month ago, still no payment. Anyone else experiencing delays?

I found a way to solve paid family leave payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl5Ezx7SaDg

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for 6 weeks now. It's like they're purposely trying to make us suffer. Have you tried calling them? I've heard some people have had luck getting through and getting 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out payments. Might give you an idea of where things stand.

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is broken and nobody seems to care about fixing it. We're just little people trying to survive while they sit in their fancy offices ignoring our problems. 😡

Hey there, former EDD employee here. Let me break down what might be happening and what you can do: 1. Backlog: There's usually a huge backlog of claims, especially after holidays or at the start of a new quarter. 2. Incomplete info: Make sure you've submitted ALL required documents. Missing even one can hold up your entire claim. 3. Employer verification: Sometimes it takes a while for your employer to verify your claim. Follow up with your HR department. 4. System glitches: Yep, the EDD system is old and buggy. Sometimes claims get stuck for no good reason. What you can do: - Keep calling. It sucks, but persistence pays off. - Contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. - Double-check your online account for any messages or requests for additional info. - If you're really desperate, consider the paid calling service someone mentioned above. I've heard it works, but use at your own risk. Hang in there! I know it's tough, but your payment will come through eventually.

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 2 months here. starting to think this is all a big scam 🤡

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but I've heard some people have had success getting attention to their claims that way. Worth a shot!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so stressful not knowing when the money will come through. Sending positive vibes your way, OP. We're all in this together. ❤️
