PFL claim stuck for 3 weeks - no processing, no updates. Anyone else?

Three weeks? That's nothing, I've been waiting for 2 months now! 😤 The system is so backed up, it's ridiculous. I've tried calling every day but can never get through. Starting to feel like I'm shouting into the void.

I feel ya, OP. The waiting game is the worst. Have you checked your online account to see if there are any updates or if they need any additional info from you? Sometimes that can be the holdup.

Pro tip: keep calling first thing in the morning, right when they open. That's how I finally got through after weeks of trying. Good luck!

Guys, I found a method that actually works to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned from my experience with paid family leave (buckle up, it's a long one): • First, make sure ALL your paperwork is in order. Double and triple check everything before submitting. • If you haven't already, create an online account to track your claim. Sometimes updates appear there before you get anything in the mail. • Be persistent with calling. Yes, it's a pain, but it's often the only way to get answers. • If you're really stuck, reach out to your state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. • Document everything. Keep a log of when you call, who you talk to, and what they say. • If you're in dire financial straits, look into local resources for temporary assistance while you wait. Remember, the system is overwhelmed right now, but stay persistent. You'll get through eventually!

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been waiting 5 weeks here and still nada. this whole system is a joke

Has anyone had luck with the online chat feature? I've been trying to get through there but it always says 'all agents are busy'.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat, 4 weeks and counting. Bills are piling up and I'm starting to panic. This is NOT how the system is supposed to work!

Have you checked if theres any local non-profits that can help with bills while you wait? Some places offer temporary assistance for situations like this.
