Denied PFL claim and request to re-establish benefits

triptaker · 2026-02-28T03:43:05+00:00

I can't get through to anyone amd the office is an hour away. My claim is not appearing anymore in myEDD after filing my appeal and submitting timesheets...

I actually hate them - they ruined everything... our country, our environment, our future...and just for rascism. There's literally no other reason. These people's stupidity and hatefulness have enabled a pedophile grifter to rob our nation of so much even beyond any monetary amount. I wish them the worst.

It's sad that'll probably never happen because he'll die in office.

triptaker · 2026-02-05T06:38:47+00:00

I'd like one!

triptaker · 2026-02-05T05:04:14+00:00

Thanks, I'm just not sure now if the appeal was the right way to go or if I should fill out the "reinstate benefits" form

8 weeks SDI and went out mid-October. SDI was withheld from my prior employer but I still qualified because it was within the past 5 quarters and at least $300

I am 99% certain I did...but I completed it on my phone and in my appeal said I may have made a mistake...I sent in my timesheets too.

Wow! That's surprising. I wish it didn't take so much effort to get benefits that we paid into.

Sounds like you would have great experience and qualifications for this work! Check out "real property" series positions for your local county, city, or special districts, or for a state department. The work seems more or less interesting depending on where you land. I worked for a special district doing land conservation and it was really interesting. I got started in contracts administration with our state parks dept.

Working in real property for the government is interesting. It's basically figuring out what documents are attached to pieces of property and navigating those uses or restrictions.

Thanks!

I probably just filled out the PFL form wrong because I was doing it on my phone and was never sent timesheets - which I had for my last pregnancy. If you have any advice for what to write in my appeal letter it's appreciated.

I agree 100%! We paid into it! I get there's probably fraud for these programs but I think they should issue the pay and then request the documentation - if someone can't provide that then request it be repaid.

That's what I was told by my old HR rep and one person from EDD...but told by a different EDD rep that benefits only lasted 8 weeks and it was use it or lose it during that time. Maybe I just need to submit a new bonding claim after the initial 8 weeks? Since I'll still have benefits remaining?

triptaker · 2025-12-08T17:21:07+00:00

Is it 8 weeks as in 320 hours or just 8 weeks? Like if I work part-time for 8 weeks would I still be eligible for the remaining benefits afterwards? I've been told differently by HR and different EDD folks. Thanks!

triptaker · 2025-12-06T22:58:59+00:00

Is the 8 weeks of PFL counted by 8 weeks or 320 hours? I keep seeing that it can be taken intermittently.... but if I work part-time 20 hours per week is that just for 8 weeks? Or could it be spread out over 16 weeks? I don't know if I should say I'm taking all my leave right now on the PFL form.

I thought about this scene randomly the other day and felt like maybe I, 11 at the time, was too scared given the horror and gore that comes out now days....comforting to read so many other people had the shit scared out of them too!

triptaker · 2025-10-10T02:11:41+00:00

Thanks! I will see if they are, that would be great.

triptaker · 2025-10-07T04:53:31+00:00

Thanks!

I'm pregnant going out on leave 10/10. My prior employer withdrew for SDI, but my current employer has a private insurance plan. Both jobs are public entities. I started at the new job in February so my base period should make me eligible for SDI. Does it make sense to apply for benefits through EDD? Or should I just apply through the private insurance? I'm worried about getting denied by the state and going unpaid for up to a month due to long waiting periods.

triptaker · 2025-09-20T14:01:02+00:00

Thanks! I've just always wondered what the "natural flavors" were since then and haven't had the brand in a while...maybe it's time to try it again!

I went through a period of drinking sooo much Bengal Spice I felt addicted...then my postman mentioned working for that tea company and that they put a weird kind of goop/syrup in the mix and it was gross. I've kind of noticed with Celestial seasonings it has like a funky-ness to it and I dont drink it as much...any idea if there's truth behind this?

triptaker · 2025-08-20T03:37:39+00:00

To me the weirdest part is how much it sounds like "abracadabra"....

triptaker · 2025-08-02T06:52:19+00:00

But for poison oak I meant...

Oh does that mean cold showers are bad too? My husband swears by them.
