PFL claim filed over a month ago - no updates or notices. What to do?

I found a way to solve long Paid Family Leave delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xhrGGMKu8E

Ugh, I feel you. I was in the same boat last year. It's so frustrating! Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes they update there before sending anything out.

A month with no update is pretty normal tbh. The system is so backed up rn. But if you're worried, def give them a call. Just be prepared to wait... and wait... and wait some more lol

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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 checking your online account daily 2. If you haven't received any update after 6 weeks, definitely call them 3. When you call, have all your info ready - claim number, dates, etc. 4. Be polite but firm. Ask for specific next steps or timeframes 5. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor 6. Document everything - who you talked to, what they said, date and time 7. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but you'll get through it. 💪

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I swear it worked for me when I couldnt get thru on the phone

The whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. Good luck getting any real help from them. 🙄

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🤔

Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm early!

I feel like we need a support group for people dealing with EDD. Who's in? 🙋‍♀️
