PFL Payment Delay: Weeks of Waiting, Need Advice on Speeding Up Process

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been waiting for my PFL payment for over a month now. It's so frustrating. Have you tried calling them? I've been trying to get through but it's like impossible.

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

Here's what worked for me to speed things up: 1. Double-check all your paperwork is complete and accurate 2. Submit any missing documents ASAP 3. If possible, have your employer confirm they've submitted their part 4. Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to contact them 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office - they can sometimes help push things through Hang in there! It's a frustrating process but you'll get through it.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're owed? the system is broken af 🤡

Has anyone tried applying pressure through social media? Sometimes publicly calling them out on Twitter or Facebook can get their attention.

Just a heads up, I heard they're super backed up because of staff shortages. Might explain the delays were all experiencing.

Quick question for those who've been through this - how long did it take for your payment to come through once it was approved? Trying to plan my budget here...
