PFL claim payment delayed for weeks - no updates on EDD account. What to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? I've been trying for days but can't get through 😤

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes the notifications end up there. Also, make sure all your documents are uploaded correctly in the online portal.

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 all your documents are correctly uploaded 2. Send a secure message through your online account asking for a status update 3. If no response in 5 business days, try calling first thing in the morning 4. If still no luck, contact your local assembly member's office. They can often help push things through 5. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them Stay persistent! The system is overwhelmed but you'll get through eventually.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of PFL 🤡 I've been waiting 3 months now. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!

Idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a typo in my SSN on one of the forms. Might be worth double-checking all your info for any small errors.

This is why we need to reform the entire system. It's a disgrace that people have to struggle like this when they're already dealing with life changes or medical issues. 😤

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough but it will get sorted eventually. Don't forget to take care of yourself while dealing with all this stress. 💜

I went through this exact same situation a few months ago. Here's what finally worked for me: I sent a message through the EDD portal explaining my situation and included my claim number, filing date, and a brief timeline of what happened. Then I also faxed the same information to their PFL department. It took about 10 days, but I finally got a callback and they were able to resolve the issue. Apparently there was a glitch in their system that was holding up payments for certain claims. Don't give up - keep documenting everything and stay persistent!
