No response from FMLA after weeks - job protection at risk. Help!

Ugh, I feel you. I waited almost 2 months before I heard anything back about my FMLA claim. The whole system is a mess rn 🤦‍♂️

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 faxing your application? Sometimes that gets faster results than submitting online or by mail.

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your attempts to contact them (dates, times, who you spoke to if anyone). It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.

I work in HR and deal with FMLA stuff alot. Here's what I recommend: • Double-check that your employer submitted their part of the paperwork. Sometimes that's the holdup. • If you haven't already, get your doctor to submit the medical certification ASAP. • Try contacting your state's Department of Labor for help. • Consider reaching out to your local congressperson's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. • Keep using your company's call-out procedures even while waiting for FMLA approval to protect yourself. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to government efficiency at its finest 🤡 good luck OP

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails end up there. Also, make sure the contact info on your application is correct.
