How to cancel PFL claim? Need advice ASAP!

I found a way to solve cancelling PFL claim quickly, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_g2PR42xfE

I've been there before. Cancelling a PFL claim can be a bit of a hassle, but it's doable. First, you'll need to contact the PFL office directly. Be prepared to explain your reason for cancellation and have your claim number handy.

Ugh, good luck. I tried to cancel mine last year and it was such a pain. Took forever to get through to someone on the phone.

Here's what you need to do to cancel your PFL claim: 1. Gather all your claim info (claim number, dates, etc.) 2. Call the PFL office (be prepared for a long wait) 3. Explain your situation clearly 4. Ask about any potential repercussions of cancelling 5. Request written confirmation of the cancellation 6. Follow up if you don't receive confirmation within a week Remember, depending on your situation, cancelling might affect future claims or benefits. Make sure you understand all the implications before proceeding.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to be as confusing as possible? 🤔 It's like they want us to give up.

Quick question - does cancelling a PFL claim affect your ability to file for unemployment later? Asking for a friend 👀

Plot twist: what if you just... didn't cancel? 😈 jk jk don't do that

I went through this process about 6 months ago. Here's what worked for me: I called first thing in the morning (like 8:00 AM sharp) and got through in about 45 minutes instead of the usual 2+ hours. Have your Social Security number, claim number, and a clear reason for cancellation ready. They'll ask you to confirm some personal details and then process it on the spot. You should get an email confirmation within 24-48 hours. If you don't hear back, definitely call again to follow up. The whole thing was actually pretty straightforward once I got someone on the phone. Good luck!

Thanks for posting this question! I'm actually in a similar situation and was dreading having to figure this out. Reading through everyone's responses has been super helpful - especially the tip about calling first thing in the morning. I had no idea timing could make such a difference with wait times. The step-by-step breakdown from Maxwell is exactly what I needed to see. Going to gather all my paperwork tonight and try calling at 8 AM tomorrow. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly! 🤞

Just wanted to add my two cents here - I actually cancelled my PFL claim about 3 months ago and it was way less painful than I expected after reading all the horror stories online. The key things that helped me: 1) I called at exactly 8:00 AM on a Tuesday (seems like mid-week mornings have shorter wait times), 2) I had everything written down beforehand including my claim number, SSN, and a brief explanation of why I needed to cancel, and 3) I was polite but persistent when they tried to transfer me around. The whole call took about an hour total including wait time, and I got my email confirmation the next day. One thing I wish someone had told me - they'll ask if you want to "suspend" your claim instead of cancelling it completely. Make sure you understand the difference before you decide! Suspension might be better if there's any chance you'll need the benefits later. Hope this helps and good luck! 👍

Wow, this thread is exactly what I needed! I've been stressing about cancelling my PFL claim for weeks and was dreading the whole process. The early morning call strategy seems to be working for everyone - I'm definitely setting my alarm for 7:45 AM tomorrow to be ready to call right at 8:00. Love the tip about having everything written down beforehand, and the suspend vs cancel distinction Sophie mentioned is huge - I had no idea that was even an option. Really grateful for everyone sharing their real experiences instead of just complaining about the system. Sometimes this community really comes through! 🙌 Will report back with how it goes!
