I feel for you, OP. The waiting game is the worst. Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there are updates there that can give you an idea of what's going on.
This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a small error on my application that held everything up. Once I got through and fixed it, the payments came through pretty quickly. Keep trying!
Have you tried applying during off-peak hours? Like really early in the morning or late at night? Sometimes the system works better when there's less traffic.
Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you internally and it's way faster.
I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to sort out my PFL for weeks now. The whole system is a joke. Good luck to both of us! 🚣♂️
Pro tip: if you can't get through online or by phone, try faxing your application. I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes it actually works faster than mail or online submissions.

Anyone else notice that it seems to go faster if you filed online vs paper forms? Or am I just imagining things?

•Definitely faster online. Paper forms probably end up in some poor intern's 'to-do' pile 😅
