PFL Account Login Issues - Can't View Claim. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble logging into my Paid Family Leave account. Has anyone else experienced this? I keep trying to view my claim but nothing's working. Any advice would be appreciated!

Ugh, I feel your pain! The PFL website can be such a nightmare sometimes. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? That worked for me when I had login issues.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give that a try and see if it helps. Fingers crossed 🤞

Clearing cache is like the IT equivalent of 'have you tried turning it off and on again?' 😂 But seriously, it works more often than not!

I had the same issue last month. Turns out there was maintenance on the site, and they didn't bother to tell anyone 🙄 Maybe check if there's any announcements on their social media?

Have you tried using a different browser? Sometimes the site acts up with certain browsers. I had better luck using Firefox instead of Chrome.

I haven't tried that yet. Good idea, I'll give it a shot!

Honestly, the whole PFL system is a joke. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for weeks now. Can't log in half the time, and when I do, nothing works properly. Anyone else feel like were living in the stone age with this tech?

Preach! 🙌 It's 2023, and we're still dealing with government websites that look and function like they're from 1999. Get it together, PFL!

I hear ya. But let's not forget the people working there are probably doing their best with limited resources. Still frustrating tho

Hey, 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this? Kinda skeptical about paying for something like this...

I get the skepticism, but I can vouch for it. Used it twice now and got through both times. Beats spending hours on hold!

Wait, we have to PAY to talk to someone now? That's messed up. The system is so broken 😡

I hear ya, but for me, time is money. I'd rather pay $20 than waste a whole day trying to get through. Just my two cents!

Here's what worked for me: 1. Try accessing the site early in the morning (like 6-7 AM). Less traffic then. 2. Make sure your browser is up to date. 3. Disable any ad-blockers or VPNs you might be using. 4. If all else fails, call the technical support line. Be prepared to wait, but they can usually help. Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it sorted.
