PFL claim stuck in EDD processing for 3+ weeks, no updates. What to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last month. It took them almost 5 weeks to process my claim. The waiting game is brutal 😫

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can help speed things up. Just be prepared to spend hours on hold...

Hey, I found a method 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 what I've learned from my experience and research about PFL claims: 1. Processing time: Typically takes 2-3 weeks, but can extend to 4-6 weeks during busy periods. 2. No news is... normal: EDD often doesn't send updates during processing. 3. Online account: Check your EDD online account daily for any updates or requests for additional info. 4. Persistence pays off: Keep trying to call, especially early mornings or late afternoons. 5. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, might be useful later. 6. Local rep: Consider contacting your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite claims. 7. Be patient: Unfortunately, delays are common. Make sure you have some financial backup if possible. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. 💪

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they were missing some info from my employer. Might be worth checking if your employer submitted everything correctly on their end.

edd more like eeediot am i rite 🤣🤣🤣

Has anyone else noticed that EDD seems to be slower since the pandemic? I swear it wasn't this bad before COVID hit.

Just a heads up, make sure you have all your ducks in a row with documentation. I thought my claim was all good, but then they asked for additional proof of my medical condition 4 weeks in. Set me back another 2 weeks 😑

Anyone know if theres a way to escalate a claim? Like is there a supervisor we can talk to or something?
