PFL claim submitted 2 months ago, got NoC but no payment. EDD website shows no status. What to do?

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. I swear they're always behind on everything. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I found a method to 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. Keep calling EDD persistently. Use the trick of calling right at 8 AM when they open. 2. Check your online account daily for any updates or requests for additional information. 3. Make sure all your documents are in order and easily accessible. 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via their online messaging system. 5. Consider contacting your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 6. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. 7. If it's been more than 3 weeks since your Notice of Computation, something might be holding up your claim. It could be identity verification or employer confirmation. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

lol welcome to the club 🎉 been waiting on my disability payments for 3 months now. EDD is a joke fr

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your mailing address is up to date in their system.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a problem with my identity verification. Once I got that sorted, the payments started coming through. Might be worth asking about that specifically when you get someone on the phone.

This might sound weird, but have you tried reaching out to EDD on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than their phone lines.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat with my unemployment claim. The whole system needs an overhaul.

Have you considered applying for emergency assistance through local charities or your county's social services while you wait for EDD to get their act together? Might help with those bills piling up.

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes forever. 🦥
