PFL Account Hacked? Password and Security Questions Changed - Need Help ASAP!
Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with my account. Someone changed my password and security questions, and now I can't log in. I'm freaking out because I need to access my paid family leave info. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get back into my account or reach technical support? I'm seriously stressed about this!

Not to freak you out more, but you might want to check your credit report too. If someone got into your PFL account, they might have enough info to do more damage.
Oh god, I didn't even think of that. Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely look into it 😰
EDD PFL reapplication after c-section disability claim - no payments received
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my PFL application. I initially applied for PFL before applying for disability after having a c-section. When I realized my mistake, I applied for disability, which led to my PFL being cancelled. I received full disability benefits, but now that my disability period is over, I'm trying to reapply for PFL. The problem is, I haven't been receiving any payments. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of situation? Any advice on how to navigate this mess with EDD?

This happened to me last year! It's such a pain. Make sure you emphasize to EDD that you're reapplying for PFL after your disability claim ended. They should have a process for this, but sometimes the reps don't know about it. Ask to speak to a supervisor if the first person you talk to seems confused.

Anyone know if there's an email address we can use instead? I hate talking on the phone lol
I wish! But from what I've heard, they're even worse at responding to emails. Phone is still your best bet unfortunately.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through or at least get you in touch with the right person.

AuthorI hadn't thought of that. How would I go about contacting them?

Just google your state and district representatives. Most have contact forms on their websites. Explain your situation and they might be able to help!
