Help with PFL form: Questions about other pay, verification, and required documents
Hey everyone, I'm filling out my paid family leave form for the first time and I've got a few questions. I'm trying to avoid delays in my application. Can anyone help me out? 1. Why are they asking about other pay I received during my time off? I marked sick pay for COVID, but the time I'm requesting for pay starts after that period. 2. What's the deal with the last page before verification? Is there supposed to be a checklist or something? 3. After I finish, will I get instructions on how to upload Part C of the verification portion? I think Part D gets turned in for me. 4. Do I need to include any other documents like a W-2 or pay stub? Any advice would be really appreciated!

I went through this recently, so I can help you out! 1. They ask about other pay to make sure there's no overlap in benefits. Just make sure your PFL dates don't overlap with your COVID sick pay dates. 2. The last page is usually just a final review. I don't remember seeing a specific checklist, but double-check when you have the form in front of you. 3. Yes, you'll get instructions for uploading Part C after you complete the form. Have it ready to go. 4. Usually, you don't need W-2 or pay stubs unless they specifically ask for them. Just submit the forms as requested. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

•Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I'll double-check that last page when I have the form in front of me again.

•Quick question - how long did it take for your application to be processed? I'm in the same boat and wondering how long I'll be waiting.

•It took about 2 weeks for mine to be processed, but I've heard it can vary. Some people get it faster, others wait longer. Depends on how busy they are, I guess.

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone to answer these questions! 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

•Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

•Yeah, it's totally legit! I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of waiting on hold. Worth every penny imo.

•It took about 45 minutes for me, but I've heard it can vary depending on how busy they are. Still way faster than trying to get through on your own!

Pro tip: take screenshots of EVERYTHING as you fill out the form. You never know when the system might glitch and you'll need to prove what you submitted. Learned that the hard way ðŸ˜

Anyone else feel like they designed these forms to be as confusing as possible? 🤔 It's like they WANT us to make mistakes.

•Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The system's just old and clunky.

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. I didn't and they "lost" part of my application. Had to start all over again. Don't be like me!
