I'm in the same boat, fam. Been waiting since December. This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive?

Anyone know if there's been any changes to PFL processing recently? Seems like a lot of people are having issues lately.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from them end up there. Just a thought!

Ive been dealing with this for 8 months now. EIGHT. MONTHS. I'm about ready to give up tbh

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for 6 weeks now with no update. Starting to feel like I'm gonna have to go back to work before I even see a dime from this claim 😩

Anybody else think its ridiculous that we pay into this system our whole working lives, but when we actually need it, its nearly impossible to use? 🤡 The whole thing needs an overhaul.

I'm in the same boat, its been 10 weeks for me. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time?

Pro tip: If you can, try calling right when they open. I got through on my third try doing this. Good luck!

Quick question - did you check if the payment amount matches what you were expecting? Sometimes they issue partial payments and that can cause confusion.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just go back to paper checks. At least then we'd know exactly when it was mailed out 🤷‍♂️

Quick question - does anyone know if the rules for re-establishing a claim have changed recently? I heard something about new requirements but cant find any solid info.

Protip: If you can, try calling right when they open. I got through pretty quick that way. Also, be super nice to the person who answers - they deal with angry people all day and being kind can go a long way!

Ive been waiting 3 months for my PFL payment. starting to think ill never see that money tbh. the whole systems a joke

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you first applied? Might help to know where in the process things got held up.

Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online status change. You never know when you'll need that info to prove your case.

ugh this brings back memories. took me 3 months to get my first payment. hang in there OP, it'll come eventually 💪

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a discrepancy in my paperwork that I didn't even notice. Might be worth double-checking all your docs if you can get ahold of someone.

Not to freak you out, but my coworker had her identity stolen and someone tried to redirect her PFL payments. If it's taking unusually long, might be worth checking if there's been any suspicious activity.

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around with no income while they take their sweet time? 🤬

Pro tip: if you can, try faxing your documents. Sometimes that gets processed faster than online submissions. Weird, I know, but it worked for me!
