Help with PFL claim process - which docs needed & which paystub to upload?

Sure thing! Here's what you typically need for a PFL claim: • Completed claim form (make sure every section is filled out accurately) • Proof of relationship if you're caring for a family member (birth certificate, marriage license, etc.) • Medical certification from a healthcare provider • Employment details including your work history For the pay stub, upload your most recent one. It should reflect your current earnings and employment status. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

ugh, i remember going thru this. such a headache! make sure you triple check everything before you submit or youll be stuck in bureaucratic hell for months 💀

Quick tip: I found a way to actually get someone on the phone when I was dealing with this. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? its like they WANT us to fail 🤔

Pro tip: if youre having trouble getting your doctor to fill out the medical certification, try bringing them a pre-filled form. Makes it way easier for them and speeds up the process!

Has anyone had experience with retroactive claims? I didn't know I was eligible until after my leave started 😬

@Mateo Warren Yes, you can file retroactively! I had to do this too - didn't realize I was eligible until 3 weeks into my leave. You'll need to explain the delay in your application and provide documentation for the entire period you're claiming. They accepted mine, but it did add about a week to the processing time. The key is being thorough with your paperwork and having a valid reason for the late filing. Don't stress too much about it!
