PFL Delay After C-Section Disability: No Payment Received After Refiling with EDD
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I just had a c-section and was on disability for a while. Now that my disability has ended, I refiled for Paid Family Leave (PFL) but haven't received anything yet. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long did it take for you to get your PFL after refiling post-disability? Any tips on speeding up the process would be really appreciated!

Not to be that person, but have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.
I didn't even know that was an option! How do I find my assembly member?
Just Google '[your city] assembly member'. They usually have a 'contact us' form for constituent services. Good luck!

anyone else think its ridiculous we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? 🤔 the whole systems broken af
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it complicated on purpose
Fr fr. We pay into this system and then have to fight to use it. Makes no sense.
EDD says max benefits paid but claim < 1 year old. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. I filed back in October and just got a notice saying I've received all the benefits payable. The thing is, I haven't hit the one-year mark yet, so I'm pretty sure I should still be eligible for more. Anyone else run into this? How did you get it sorted out?

Have you checked if you qualify for a claim extension? Sometimes they don't automatically apply it and you have to request it specifically.
OMG I'm literally dealing with the exact same thing rn! Filed in November, got the same notice last week. This thread is giving me life 😭 We're all in this sinking ship together I guess
Ugh, sorry you're dealing with this too! Let me know if you find any solutions that work
Will do! Gonna try calling again tomorrow. May the odds be ever in our favor lol

Here's a comprehensive guide to navigating the disability insurance claim process: • Gather all medical records before filing • Submit claim as soon as possible • Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send • Follow up regularly (weekly is good) • If denied, don't give up - appeal! • Consider getting a lawyer if it drags on Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them wear you down. You've paid into this system, and you deserve the benefits when you need them. Stay strong!
