PFL claim stuck on 'processing' since April - EDD website shows nothing, what to do?

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there too. The EDD system is such a mess rn. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

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

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from EDD end up there. Also, make sure you're logging into the right portal on the website. There's one for UI and a separate one for PFL/SDI.

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my claim wasn't properly transferred from SDI to PFL. I had to call and have them manually fix it. It's a pain, but keep trying to get through to someone.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling EDD. Yes, it's a pain, but it's necessary. Try different times of day. 2. Contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 3. Double-check all your paperwork. Make sure you didn't miss any forms or signatures. 4. If you have online access, send a message through the EDD portal asking for a status update. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and attempts to contact them. 6. If it's been more than 3 weeks since you applied, consider filing a request for expedited processing due to financial hardship. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you will get through eventually.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? the system is broken af 🤬

Quick question - did you transition from SDI to PFL? Sometimes that transition can cause delays. Make sure both claims are properly linked in the system.
