PFL claim filed in November, no updates or payments. EDD ghosting me?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD is a total mess right now. I had to wait almost 3 months for my first payment! Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but it's probably your best bet at this point.

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. Keep calling EDD every day. Use the trick of calling right at 8:00 AM or just before closing. 2. While you're waiting to get through, send a message through your UI Online account. Sometimes they respond faster that way. 3. If you still don't hear back after a week, contact your local assembly member's office. They can often help push things through. 4. Make sure you've submitted all required documents. Sometimes claims get held up because of missing info. 5. Double-check that your employer submitted their portion of the claim. If they haven't, that could be the holdup. 6. If all else fails, file a complaint with the EDD. It's a last resort, but it can light a fire under them. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence pays off. Good luck!

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there lol. learned that one the hard way 🤦‍♂️

I'm in the exact same boat. Filed in October, radio silence since then. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive while they sit on our claims? 😤

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation number or email when you first filed? Might be worth double-checking that your claim actually went through. The EDD website can be glitchy af sometimes.

Not to be that guy, but are you sure you qualified for PFL? The requirements can be kinda tricky. Might be worth double-checking just in case.

edd more like eDD-eez nuts gottem 🤣

Has anyone had luck with the EDD's social media accounts? I've seen some people say they got responses that way.

Protip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every email, every letter. You never know when you might need to prove you've been trying to resolve this. CYA always!
