FMLA claim stuck in limbo for a week - no updates. How to speed up process?

I found a way to solve FMLA claim delays and frustration, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLtgLwpxeQk

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been waiting on my FMLA claim for almost a month now. It's ridiculous how slow they are. Have you tried calling them? I know it's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before they actually contact you. Might be worth a look!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 I swear they move slower than molasses in January. Hang in there, OP!

Ok, so here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. If you haven't already, make sure you've submitted all required documentation. Sometimes they don't tell you if something's missing. 4. Try calling first thing in the morning, right when they open. That's usually the best time to get through. 5. If you still can't get through, consider using a call-back service like someone mentioned earlier. It might cost a bit, but it could save you a lot of time and stress. 6. If all else fails, reach out to your local representative's office. They often have contacts in these departments and can help push things along. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but you'll get there eventually. Good luck!

Anyone else notice how these delays seem to get worse around holidays? It's like the whole system goes into hibernation mode or smthn

Hey OP, just wanted to say hang in there. I know it's tough, but you're not alone in this. We're all in the same boat, trying to navigate these choppy waters. Keep your chin up! 💪

I'm going through something similar right now - filed my claim about 10 days ago and radio silence. What's really frustrating is that you can't even get a straight answer about typical processing times when you do manage to get someone on the phone. I've been checking my online account obsessively but the status just says "pending" with no other details. At least we're all suffering together I guess 😅 Let me know if you find anything that works!
