PFL claim stuck in "Pending Processing" for a month, no payment received. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting for 6 weeks now. It's ridiculous how slow they are. Have you tried faxing them? I heard that sometimes works better than online submissions.

I found a way to actually 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

This is why I always tell people to have an emergency fund. You can't rely on the government to be timely with these things.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with PFL claims: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and submissions. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Use multiple channels - phone, email, fax, and online portal. 4. If you're not getting anywhere, escalate to a supervisor. 5. Reach out to your local government representatives. 6. Check if your employer's HR can help push things along. 7. Make sure all your documentation is complete and accurate. 8. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck. 9. Join Facebook groups or forums for more support and advice. 10. If all else fails, consider filing a complaint with the state labor board. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but keep pushing!

have u checked ur claim status online? sometimes it updates there b4 they notify u

I'm an EDD employee (not official capacity here). The system is super backed up right now due to budget cuts and increased claims. We're doing our best, but it's tough. My advice: make sure all your docs are in order and keep trying to reach out. Sorry you're dealing with this. 😕
