PFL claim filed in December - still no update. What should I do?
Hey everyone, I filed my PFL claim back in early December and I'm still waiting for an update. Has anyone else been waiting this long? I'm starting to get worried and could really use some advice on what to do next. Should I try calling them or just keep waiting?

EDD claim stuck in limbo for 4+ days after manager promised to push it through - line went dead during follow-up call. Help!
I've been waiting for my claim to process for days now. Last time I called, they said they were working on it and a manager was supposed to push it through. It's been 4 days since then and still nothing. I called again today and the lady said she was reviewing my claim, then the line went dead for 30 minutes! Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get this resolved quickly?

I feel for you, OP. The whole system is a joke. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for months. It's like they're playing hot potato with our lives.
PFL application submitted 10+ days ago, no updates or payment. Anyone else experiencing delays?
I applied for Paid Family Leave over 10 days ago and still haven't received any updates or payment. Last time I applied, it only took about 10 days to get paid. Is anyone else experiencing longer wait times? I'm really counting on this money and getting worried. Any advice on how to speed up the process or at least find out what's going on with my application?

Anyone else notice that the wait times seem to be longer if you apply online vs paper? Or am I just paranoid?
Nah, I think you're onto something. My paper app went through way faster than my friend's online one 🤔

PFL Status Update Delay - Anyone else waiting forever?
Has anyone else been waiting forever to get an update on their paid family leave status? I've been waiting for two days now and still nothing. Disability was supposed to pay them so they could pay me, but I'm starting to get worried. This delay is really stressing me out. Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice?

Anyone else notice that the website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not.

Has anyone had luck with contacting their local representative about PFL issues? I've heard sometimes they can help speed things up.

AuthorThanks for the encouragement! It helps to know I'm not alone in this. How long did yours end up taking?

It was about 10 weeks all told. Felt like an eternity, but it did come through eventually!
