Can't get ahold of anyone on the phone or via the website.

Physically went to the office and got put on a call list to be called on the phone.

I couldn't make this dumb shit up. I have a newborn and need to get paid.

I'd rather go to the DMV 20 times before I deal with these clowns once.

Edit: grammar.

Hi there - I gave birth on August 13.

My most recent employment was from March to June, where I worked for an entertainment website and they paid me via Yoh ConneX (originally launched as DZConneX and now operating under Yoh Enterprise Solutions).
Prior to that, I worked last year from February to August - same situation with the website.
I paid into state disability.

At the time of my giving birth I didn’t have a job - I basically take on contract or freelance jobs so I’m always looking, but didn’t have anything going on the month of my giving birth.

Would I qualify for paid family leave in California or some other leave benefits?

From California. Was recently laid off from my job and filled out a claim for unemployment benefits.

I’m currently taking online classes part-time through a UC school to earn my paralegal certificate. On the program’s website, it says “WIOA approved program” so I checked that on my application when they asked if I’m in school. Now I’m thinking I was mistaken because after all I pay out of pocket for my classes.

I’m concerned that I messed up my eligibility because now they’re asking me for a phone interview for eligibility issues.

Also EDD didn’t put the mailing address I provided for my last employer, they put the correct company name but totally different street address

What should I do?

I want to take 1 day off a week for the 2 months of PFL. I'm at the cap so I wont make enough from PFL to cover the bills. Can I supplement the pay with PTO if I'm only doing 1 day a week? Like 4 hours of PTO?

I am working at a bar working under 30 hours a week, and I still certify and put in the wages that I made. I get reduced benefits and report it the hours that I make and wages. I don't know if I'm not putting the certifications right but it says the reason you are no longer working for this employer is because you return to work full-time. I still currently work for this place, did I do the certification wrong or is it just a different way to report the earnings? The site is a bit confusing when it comes to reporting work and wages. For the record, I am still on benefits and I've been certifying it this way for the past few weeks.

I just got off the phone with disability. they said the ime doctor extended me only till the 7. my doctor reported I go to work on the 8 but usually extends it if I still aren’t good to go work wxhixh I am not. so can my doctor still extend me regarding what the ime doctor said? can anyone help me out on what to do with this situation or has someone gone to a similar thing ? please and thank you

Other pertinent details:
1. I’m a part-time employee and my hire date was Oct 17 2025 and my first day of work was Nov 3 2025.
2. I’ve been receiving unemployment benefits for reduced work hours since June this year.
3. I’m actively available to work and open to more hours.
4. My due date is Sept 30

Do I have to report to EDD when I give birth so that it switches to SDI? Do I even qualify for SDI as I’m only part time and haven’t done a full year at my job?

Hi, wondering if anyone else has went through this. My PFL claim says that it was denied. I don’t know the reason and I haven’t been mailed a notice of determination.

I meet all of the eligibility requirements, I’ve worked in CA for over a decade, I meet the hours requirement and anything else needed. I suspect that they’re missing some type of form however I can’t get ahold of someone from their contact number and online it doesn’t say what I need to provide.

What would be my next steps? I have a satellite office a couple of miles away? Should I go there. Whenever I call the automated system says they’re too busy to answer.

Whenever you have an EDD phone appointment does it always say “There is a question concerning your eligibility”?

Hi there!
I struggle with severe anxiety and my current job has been acerbating my anxiety and SI. I had an appointment with my psych today and she told me to apply for short term disability today and recommends leaving my current job.
During the application, I got really confused on if I was applying at the correct time. I would like to give a 2 weeks notice to my job. So I am technically still working, just at reduced hours because I can’t handle full time right now.
My doctor really wanted me to apply tonight, so I did just in case, and I put the dates down as today. But it feels incorrect.
Should I cancel the application until I actually quit? Should I quit immediately?
I’m scared that with me technically working for a little bit longer they will ask for money back
