PFL not received after refiling post-disability from C-section. EDD help needed!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I just had a baby via c-section and was on disability for a while. Now that my disability period has ended, I refiled for Paid Family Leave (PFL) but haven't received anything yet. Has anyone else dealt with this? It's been a few weeks and I'm starting to get worried. Any advice on how to speed up the process or what I might be missing?

Not to be that guy, but have you checked to make sure you're actually eligible for PFL after disability? There are some weird rules about timing and stuff.

Yeah, I triple-checked before applying. Should be eligible but who knows with all the red tape ๐Ÿ™„

EDD case approved but week pending due to missed phone review - What to do?

Has anyone else had their case approved but the week is still pending because they never called for the review? I'm so frustrated. They were supposed to call me to review my case, which was approved, but now the week is just sitting there pending. What should I do?

Good idea! I'll check my spam folder too, just in case.

Having a second interview scheduled isn't uncommon with EDD, though it can definitely be confusing when you were told a decision would come within 10 days. There are a few possible reasons this is happening: The interviewer might need additional information they didn't collect during the first interview to make a proper determination about your case. Sometimes they need to verify specific details about your termination. EDD could be investigating different aspects of your claim. The first interview might have focused on your separation from work, while this one could be about another eligibility issue entirely. Your employer might have provided information after your interview that EDD needs to discuss with you to ensure they have your side of the story. Since all your weeks are pending, this suggests they're waiting for this interview to resolve before processing payments. For the upcoming interview, I'd recommend: - Prepare any additional documentation about your termination - Review your notes from the first interview - Be ready to answer similar questions with consistent answers You could also try calling EDD directly to ask about the purpose of this second interview, though getting through can be challenging. Checking your UI Online account might show notifications or messages that provide more context.

Money Network account compromised & closed - need help transferring funds & filing claim!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a panic here. Yesterday I tried to log into my Money Network account and realized someone had changed my password and security questions. Turns out my account was compromised and they closed it! Now I'm trying to figure out how to transfer my funds and file a claim. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice on what steps I should take or who I should contact? I'm really worried about my money and don't know where to start.

Plot twist: what if OP is the scammer trying to figure out how to access someone else's account? ๐Ÿค”

I promise I'm not! Just a very stressed out victim here ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Just kidding OP! Hope you get it sorted out soon!

Anyone else think its weird that Money Network just closed the account without contacting OP first? Seems kinda sus to me.

0 coins

For real tho. They should have some kind of alert system in place.

0 coins

Maybe they tried to contact OP but the scammer changed all the contact info? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
