FMLA claim pending for 2+ months, no payments received. What can I do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Send a written request for an update on your claim status. 3. Contact your HR department to see if they can help. 4. Reach out to your state's Department of Labor for assistance. 5. Consider contacting your local elected officials. Don't give up! It's your right to receive these benefits.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes important emails end up there. also make sure all ur docs were submitted correctly

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my claim got stuck. Keep calling and escalate to a supervisor if you can. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a faster response. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

oof, 2 months is rough. i waited 6 weeks for mine and thought THAT was bad. the whole system needs an overhaul fr

I'm going through the exact same thing right now - 10 weeks and counting with no payments. It's absolutely ridiculous how broken this system is. I've tried everything mentioned here: calling (never get through), checking online portal (just says "pending"), even sent written requests. The stress of not knowing when/if you'll get paid while dealing with family issues is just brutal. Has anyone had luck with filing a complaint with the state ombudsman? I'm at my wit's end here.
