PFL application stuck for 4+ weeks, no benefits or updates. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated with my PFL application. It's been over a month since I applied and I still haven't received any benefits. My wife is in the same boat too. We haven't gotten any notices or updates. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what to do next?

Has anyone heard about the new policy changes? I heard they're supposed to speed up processing times, but idk if it's actually helping.
I saw something about that too. Supposedly they hired more staff, but I haven't noticed any difference tbh.
Classic government move. Promise improvements, deliver disappointment. 🙄
PFL claim stuck in 'pending processing' for weeks after SDI - need help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my disability claim. I just finished my 6-week postpartum disability and submitted the paperwork to start my Paid Family Leave. It's been weeks now, and the claim is still showing as 'pending processing'. I really need this to go through so I can get paid. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? Any advice on how to speed things up?

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard it can sometimes get faster responses than calling or emailing.
Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I'll try anything at this point. Do you know what number to fax?
lol ikr? But don't knock it till you try it! Here's the fax number I used: 1-855-027-1940. Good luck!
PFL claim stalled after submitting missing doc a month ago - need advice on getting EDD update

Ive been in the same boat for weeks now. its so stressful not knowing whats going on with your claim. sending good vibes your way, hope we both get answers soon! 🙏
Thanks for the support! It really helps to know I'm not alone in this. Fingers crossed for both of us! 🤞
PRO TIP: When you finally get through to someone, ask them for a direct extension or callback number. Some reps will give you one, and it can save you hours of hold time for future calls.
This!!! 💯 I got a direct number once and it was a game changer. Just be super nice to the rep and they might hook you up.

OP, make sure you and your wife didn't accidentally apply for the same type of leave. That can cause delays.

Anyone else notice how the wait times have gotten worse since covid? It's like they never staffed back up 🙄
