PFL Claim Corrections: Doctor on Vacation, Need Extension ASAP! Help!

Ugh, I feel ya. The PFL system can be such a pain sometimes. Have you tried calling them to explain the situation? They might be able to give you an extension over the phone.

I found a method to 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything! Write down when you received the notice, when your doctor went on vacation, and when they'll be back. 2. Try to get something in writing from your doctor's office about their absence. 3. Keep calling PFL until you get through. Be persistent! 4. When you do get through, explain the situation calmly and ask for an extension. Emphasize that it's out of your control. 5. If they won't budge, ask to speak to a supervisor. 6. As a last resort, consider contacting your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene in these situations. Good luck! The system is frustrating, but don't give up. 💪

have you tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur agencies lol

OMG I'm literally in the same boat rn 😭 My doctor's on maternity leave and I'm freaking out about my deadlines. This system is so broken!

Have you checked their website? Sometimes they have forms for extension requests that you can submit online. Might be worth a shot!

unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just show up at their office enmasse. bet theyd fix the system real quick if they had to deal with us face to face 🤔
