I found a way to solve PFL payment delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t27FEmV-qDY

Congrats on getting approved! In my experience, it usually takes about 2 weeks to get the payment after approval. Keep an eye on your account for updates.

I found a way to actually talk to someone on the phone about this stuff. 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

ugh, the waiting game is the WORST. I swear, dealing with bureaucracy is like watching paint dry, except the paint is your money and it never seems to dry 🙃

Pro tip: Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. It's usually faster than waiting for a check in the mail.

Has anyone else noticed that the payment timelines seem to be all over the place lately? I've heard everything from a week to over a month. It's like playing the lottery, but with our own money 🎰

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect: • Approval to Payment: Typically 7-14 business days • Factors affecting timeline: - Workload of the department - Complexity of your claim - Method of payment (direct deposit is faster) Tips: 1. Check your online account daily for updates 2. Ensure all your info is up-to-date 3. If it's been more than 3 weeks, consider calling for a status update Remember, patience is key. The system isn't perfect, but they do eventually get the payments out. Hang in there!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous that we have to wait so long after approval? like, hello, we need this money now! 🙄

Quick question - does anyone know if weekends count in the 14-day timeline, or is it just business days?
