PFL Claim Submitted 3 Weeks Ago - No Confirmation or Payment Yet. Normal?

It really depends on how you submitted your claim. Did you do it online or by mail? Online is usually faster, but even then it can take a few weeks to process. Have you checked your account online for any updates?

ugh, the waiting game is the WORST. I remember when I filed my claim, it felt like forever. Took about a month before I got any confirmation. Just try to stay patient (easier said than done, I know 🙄

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Save confirmation emails, take screenshots of your online submissions, note down any phone calls you make. It'll save you a headache if there are any issues later on.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect with PFL claims: • Processing time: Usually 2-4 weeks, but can take up to 6 weeks during busy periods • Confirmation: You should receive an email or letter confirming receipt of your claim • Online updates: Check your account regularly for status changes • Payments: Once approved, payments are typically issued within 1-2 weeks • Backpay: You'll receive backpay from your claim start date If you haven't heard anything after 4 weeks, try calling the PFL office directly. Be prepared for long wait times. If you can't get through, consider sending a follow-up message through your online account. Remember, every case is different, and processing times can vary. Stay patient and persistent!

have you tried checkin your spam folder? sometimes the confirmation email ends up there lol

Unpopular opinion: the whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. It's like they WANT us to give up 🙄
