Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? The system is broken af
Preach! π It's like they're trying to discourage us from claiming what we're entitled to.
LOL good one. That portal is where claims go to die. π
I actually had some luck with it last month! But ymmv
Anyone know if theres a difference between state and federal family leave? Im so confused about which one I should be applying for
State is usually handled through EDD, federal is through your employer. But it depends on your situation. Maybe try r/legaladvice?
LPT: Use a call recording app when you finally get through. That way you have proof of what was said in case there are any issues later.
Just make sure you tell them you're recording! In some states it's illegal to record without consent
lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter π
π€£π€£π€£ I shouldn't laugh but man if that ain't the truth
C'mon guys, I'm sure they're doing their best with limited resources. The pandemic really overwhelmed the system.
Found the EDD employee π
Anyone else notice how these issues always seem to happen right when you need the money most? It's like they know π
idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. Keep pushing them to look into it from their end.

Hey OP, what was the exact wording on your denial letter? Sometimes there are clues in the bureaucratic language they use.

β’That's the thing - I didn't even get a letter! Just a notification on the online portal that my claim was denied. No explanation at all.

β’Wow, that's even worse. Definitely push for a written explanation. They're required to provide one by law.
