PFL claim pending for 3+ months with EDD - no updates, can't reach anyone. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm at my wits end here. I filed for Paid Family Leave back in December and it's been over 3 months now. My claim is still pending and I haven't heard a peep from EDD. I've tried calling but can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on how to get some answers or speed things up? I'm really starting to struggle financially and could use some help.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and timeframes are made up. Seriously tho, hope you get it sorted soon. The waiting game suuuucks.
Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes that gets faster results than submitting online. Worth a shot!
Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But for real, I'll try anything at this point. Do you know what fax number to use?
Lol I know right? Here's the number I used: 1-855-027-1940. Make sure to include your claim number on every page!
Locked out of EDD account - can't reset password or file claim. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I can't log into my account because I'm locked out. I tried resetting my password and security questions, but no luck. The IT department is impossible to reach, and the email support was useless. The worst part is, I can't even file a claim without getting back into my account. Anyone else been through this? Any advice on how to get this sorted?

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting a bunch of accounts. Might be worth asking if they're having any known issues when you finally get through to someone.
Account suddenly pending - no idea why. Help!
Hey everyone, I just logged into my account and noticed it's pending. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure why it happened or what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated!

Classic government efficiency at work 🙄 They probably "lost" your paperwork or something. Buckle up, you're in for a wild ride!
Cmon man, not helpful. Some of us are really struggling here.
Sorry, didn't mean to be insensitive. Just frustrated with the system. Hope OP gets it sorted out soon.
Hey, don't panic! This happened to me last month. Turned out they just needed to verify my identity. I uploaded a copy of my driver's license and social security card, and it was resolved in a few days.
That's good to hear it got resolved quickly! I'll check if they need any documents from me. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there's more info there about pending payments that you won't get in the mail.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out I had accidentally put the wrong date for when I last worked on one of my certifications. Double check all your recent certs to make sure everythings correct
