How to check PFL claim status? Stuck in limbo, need help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been trying to get an update on my PFL claim for weeks now. It's like they've gone radio silent or something. Have you tried calling their hotline?

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 you tried checking your status online? Sometimes its faster than calling.

lol good luck. I've been waiting 3 months for an update on my claim. The system is completely broken 🤡

I work in HR and deal with this stuff all the time. Here's what you need to know about checking your Paid Family Leave claim status: • First, try the online portal. It's usually the quickest way to get basic status updates. • If that doesn't work, call the PFL hotline. Best times are usually early morning or late afternoon. • Have your claim number, SSN, and any relevant dates ready when you call. • Be persistent! Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get through. • If you're still stuck after a week of trying, consider reaching out to your state representative or ombudsman. • Document all your attempts to contact them. This can be helpful if there are any disputes later. Remember, processing times can vary depending on the complexity of your claim and current workload. Don't panic if it's taking a while, but don't be afraid to advocate for yourself either!

Anyone else notice how the wait times seem to get longer every year? I swear it used to be easier to get answers about PFL claims...

Hey OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a bit depending on where you live.
