PFL claim submitted in December, still no payment in March. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling the EDD? It's a nightmare to get through, but it might be worth a shot.

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 I did to finally get my PFL claim processed: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates and times. 2. Contact your state representative: They can often help expedite claims. 3. Submit a request for information in writing: Send a certified letter asking for a status update. 4. Check your online account: Sometimes there are updates or requests for additional info you might miss. 5. Be persistent: Keep calling and emailing. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Hang in there! It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it eventually.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the notifications end up there lol

I'm in the same boat, submitted in November and still waiting. This is getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive without income for months?

PSA: There's a new online portal for checking claim status. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. Google 'EDD claim status portal' and you should find it.

unpopular opinion: maybe there just overwhelmed with claims rn? like, we're all struggling but so are they probly
