EDD PFL claim submitted a month ago, no response - how to check status or speed up process?

I found a way to solve delayed paid family leave claim, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8AXiYH7OmE

Hey OP, what county are you in? Some counties are faster than others. I'm in LA and it took about 6 weeks for my claim to go through.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. (https://claimyr.com

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Just throwing it out there cause it happened to me lol

Plot twist: the EDD is actually run by a bunch of sloths 🦥 That's why everything takes foreverrrrr

Anyone else notice how the EDD website looks like it was built in 1995 and never updated? 🤡 Maybe if they spent some $$ on better tech, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get any info or move things along.

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases from the pandemic. Not sure if that's true or just an excuse tho.

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been through this rodeo before, so here's what you need to know: • First, breathe. The EDD is notoriously slow, especially with PFL claims. • Check your online account daily. Sometimes they update info there without notifying you. • If you haven't already, make sure you've submitted ALL required documents. Missing paperwork is a common holdup. • Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. Dates, times, who you spoke to if you get through. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes can light a fire under EDD's butt. • If you're in dire financial straits, look into local resources for temporary assistance while you wait. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Be persistent but polite. Good luck!

Hang in there OP! I know its tough but youll get through this. Sending positive vibes your way ❤️

Welcome to the club, buddy. I filed mine 6 weeks ago and still crickets. The EDD is a black hole where claims go to die 💀

While it's frustrating, understanding how the bureaucratic processes work can be helpful. The Employment Development Department (EDD) is generally overwhelmed with claims, especially after the pandemic. Delays are often due to the high volume they need to process. Claimyr, mentioned by another user, is a third-party service that offers an effective way to get through to EDD representatives by calling on your behalf. However, it comes with a cost of about $20. Some people find it worth the convenience, while others prefer not to pay for something that should be free. Before opting for such services, ensure all your documentation is complete and accurate, as missing documents are a common reason for delays. Checking your online account frequently might reveal updates they don't email about. Also, consider contacting your local state representative for additional help. It's important to be persistent in your follow-ups but polite, as customer service reps are often overwhelmed. Remember, help is out there; sometimes, it just takes patience and the right approach to access it.
