Tips for filing EDD bonding leave claim? Need advice ASAP!

Congrats on the new addition to your family! 🎉 When I filed for bonding leave, these were the key things I made sure to cover: • Clearly explain your desired leave schedule (are you taking it all at once or splitting it up?) • Double-check your eligibility and what documents you need to submit • Ask about how your benefits might be affected, especially if you're planning multiple leave periods • Get clarity on the payment schedule and amounts • Find out if there's a waiting period before benefits kick in Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

ugh good luck dealing with the bureaucracy 🙄 took me forever to get my claim sorted

Quick tip: write down all your questions before you call. It's easy to forget stuff when you're on the phone with them.

Anyone know if the bonding leave rules have changed recently? I heard something about extended benefits but idk if that's true

Hey guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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

Pro tip: if you can, try to call first thing in the morning when they open. The wait times are usually shorter then.

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 like why does it have to be so complicated

Random question: does anyone know if you can use bonding leave for adopting a pet? Asking for a friend... 👀
