PFL claim submitted over a month ago, no response from EDD. Anyone else experiencing delays?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through the same thing last year. It took them almost 2 months to process my claim. The system is so backed up its ridiculous. Hang in there!

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can speed things up a bit. Be prepared to wait on hold for hours tho lol

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting for hours. I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then sends the call to your phone when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Pro tip: keep ALL your documentation. Make copies of everything you send them. You never know when theyll claim they didnt receive something. CYA always!

I work in HR and deal with this stuff all the time. Here's what you need to know: 1. Processing times can vary wildly depending on workload and staffing. 2. Make sure you've completed Form DE 2501F correctly. Any errors can cause major delays. 3. Double-check that your employer submitted their portion (DE 2502) on time. 4. If it's been over 6 weeks, you can file for an appeal. 5. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 6. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

have u tried checkin the online portal? sometimes they update stuff there b4 sending anything out

I'm in the exact same boat, man. Filed 5 weeks ago, radio silence. This system is a joke. 🤡

Congrats on the new baby! 🎉 Try not to stress too much about the claim (easier said than done, I know). Focus on enjoying this time with your little one. The money will come eventually.
