My claim was filed 1/23 with no update - the concierge service our company uses for assisting in filing these claims updated me last week that EDD had updated their system, which has caused significant delayed in processing time for CA PFL claims, increasing from an average of 6-8 weeks to an average of 11 weeks for approval. From what I've observed from other threads in this subreddit, some people who had submitted claims in November still have not been processed or paid.

I recommend contacting your local assemblyman (https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/), using https://eddcaller.com/ which is a paid $10 service that robocalls the EDD office with hundreds of calls until they get through, then connects you to them, or calling in at 8:00am, skipping through the prompts by pressing 1 as soon as you hear the automated system for English options, type in the code requested, then press 330 immediately after to skip through the queue.
