PFL claim stuck in processing for 2+ months, EDD impossible to reach. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been waiting for 3 months now. It's like they're purposely trying to make this as difficult as possible. Have you tried contacting your local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

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

The whole system is broken af. I've been trying to get my claim processed for 4 months now. EDD is a joke 🤡

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for my PFL claim: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if you get disconnected. 2. Try calling right when they open or about an hour before they close. Sometimes the wait times are shorter. 3. Have all your documents ready before you call. They might ask for claim numbers, dates, etc. 4. Be polite but firm with the representatives. They're dealing with a lot too. 5. If you're not getting anywhere, ask to speak to a supervisor. 6. Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke to. 7. As someone else mentioned, contacting your local rep can help. 8. Check your online account regularly for updates or requests for additional info. Hope this helps someone! Hang in there, everyone. 💪

have u tried faxing ur docs? I heard that can be faster then mailing

This might sound crazy, but has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I'm thinking of driving to one tomorrow cuz I'm so fed up with the phone system.
