PFL claim status - Impossible to reach a real person on the phone. Any tips?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my PFL claim status. I've been trying to get through to someone on the phone, but I keep getting an automated message saying they're busy and to try again later. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to actually reach a real person? I'm getting really frustrated here.

Pro tip: if you can, try to find someone who speaks another language and have them call the non-English line. Sometimes those lines have shorter wait times. Just make sure they can explain your situation clearly!

I'm in the same boat, been trying for days. This whole situation is making my anxiety go through the roof. How are we supposed to survive when we can't even get basic information about our benefits? 😫

Need help reopening EDD claim - can't get through on phone!

Hey everyone, I need to reopen my unemployment claim but I'm having trouble getting through to someone on the phone. Has anyone had any luck recently? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

Anyone else notice that the system seems to be down every other day? I swear they're doing it on purpose to reduce the number of claims...

Guys, let's not assume malice. The systems are probably just overloaded with all the claims.

Has anyone tried going to the unemployment office in person? I'm thinking of camping out overnight if that's what it takes.

I tried that last week. They just gave me a piece of paper with the same phone number we've all been calling. Total waste of time.

EDD disqualified me after approving training program while in school - help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with EDD. I applied for their training program while I'm in school, and initially they said everything looked good. But now I've got disqualifications on my account! Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm confused because my classes don't interfere with my work availability. Any advice on how to handle this or what I should do next?

Have you checked if your school has any resources to help with this? Some colleges have staff who can assist with EDD issues.

Have you tried reaching out to them on social media? Sometimes their Twitter team is more responsive than phone support.
