Can I use remaining FMLA weeks after being laid off? Having trouble accessing my account too.

Sorry to hear about your job loss. Unfortunately, FMLA benefits are tied to your employment, so once you're no longer employed, you can't use those remaining weeks. However, you might be eligible for state disability or paid family leave depending on your location. I'd suggest contacting your state's labor department for more info on your options.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this stuff. 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 about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

OP, forget FMLA and look into your state's Paid Family Leave (PFL) program if you have one. In some states, you don't need to be currently employed to claim PFL benefits. Check if you're still within the eligibility window based on your child's birth date.

Have you tried calling the FMLA helpline? They might be able to give you more specific advice for your situation. Also, double check your former employer's policies. Some companies offer extended leave benefits beyond FMLA.

This is why america is a joke. Other countries give you PAID parental leave for like a year. Here we're begging for scraps and still getting denied. System's rigged, man.

Hey OP, I've been through something similar. Here's what I learned: • FMLA doesn't apply once you're not employed, BUT • You might be eligible for state benefits • Some states have programs that don't require current employment • There are usually strict deadlines, so act fast • Document everything - dates, who you talked to, etc. • If you can't get through on the phone, try email or even snail mail • Look for legal aid organizations in your area, they might be able to help for free Hang in there! The system's a maze but you'll figure it out. 💪

have u tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk. but for real, sometimes the websites for this stuff are so old and buggy. try a different browser or even ur phone if the login still isnt working

Guys I just saw on the news that they're changing some rules about post-employment benefits. Might be worth looking into for OP's situation. Anyone know more about this?
