Still waiting for my 2025 1099-G from ESD for Paid Family Medical Leave - anyone got theirs?

You're confusing two different programs. Paid Family Medical Leave isn't administered by ESD for tax purposes - it comes from the WA Paid Leave department. They don't issue 1099-Gs like unemployment does. You should be looking for a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC form instead. Check your online account at paidleave.wa.gov.

I got my 1099G for my reglar unemployment last week but i was on PFML in 2024 too and havent gotten anything for that yet either.

Actually, I believe you're both slightly confused. PFML is run by ESD, but it's a different division than unemployment. However, they DO issue 1099-G forms for PFML benefits, not 1099-NEC/MISC. I just received mine yesterday for my parental leave from last year. They're definitely behind schedule this year. They should be available in your Paid Leave account under the "Documents" section. If not, I'd recommend trying to reach them again. I know the phone lines are absolutely swamped this time of year with tax document questions.

They make them available online first, then mail them out over the next couple weeks. If you have an online account, you should be able to download it directly from there instead of waiting for the mail.

If you're having trouble getting through on the phone to the Paid Leave department, I'd highly recommend trying Claimyr. I was in the same boat last year when I needed to speak with someone about my PFML claim and was getting nowhere with the regular phone line. Claimyr connected me with an agent in about 10 minutes instead of hours of redial hell. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Basically they navigate the phone tree and wait on hold for you, then call you when they get an agent. Saved me so much frustration during my medical leave process.

Yes, it really did work that well for me. I was skeptical at first but after spending three days trying to get through myself, I was willing to try anything. Got connected to an agent the first try. They're specifically designed for ESD and PFML calls which are notoriously difficult to get through on.

i applied for paid fmla last year and got denied even tho my doctor filled out all the paperwork. now they want me to pay back the $670 they accidentally sent me before denying me!!! this was for pregnancy bedrest btw. now im getting collection notices and they wont answer my calls either. this whole system is BROKEN

Did you opt for paper statements or electronic? I chose electronic for everything and mine showed up in my account on January 22nd. Maybe check your spam folder too if you were expecting an email notification?

UPDATE: Finally found it! I checked my Paid Leave account and it was there under Documents, dated Jan 23rd. I never got any email notification so I had no idea it was there. Thanks everyone for your help!
