PFL payment delays and benefit questions - need advice for upcoming EDD call

I found a way to solve PFL payment delays and issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E_VyN2UfYc

Ugh, PFL payments can be such a headache! 🤕 I've been there. Make sure you have all your recent payment notices and any letters from EDD ready. Write down EVERY question you have - even the ones that seem obvious. Trust me, you'll forget something important if you don't!

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 you need to know about PFL payments: • Payments are typically processed within 14 days of receiving a properly completed claim • If there's a delay, it's often due to missing information or discrepancies in your claim • Keep track of your benefit year date - it affects your maximum benefit amount • If you're having issues, ask about the specific status of your claim and any pending payments • Don't forget to ask about taxes - you can choose to have them withheld or pay them later Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

am i the only 1 who thinks the whole pfl system is broken af? 🤔 like why do we gotta jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to?

Pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I've had better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, Wednesdays seem to be less busy for some reason. good luck!

Has anyone else noticed that the online portal is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.

Quick question - does anyone know if PFL payments affect other benefits like CalFresh or Medi-Cal? I'm worried about losing my other support if I start getting PFL.
