PFL Payment Delayed: Filed 1 Month Ago, No Payments Yet - Help!

I found a way to solve paid family leave payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86RPWLyiwWE

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed 6 weeks ago and crickets. The system is so broken 🤦‍♂️

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

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there about why it's delayed.

I had this problem last year. Turns out they needed additional documentation from my employer. Might be worth checking if that's the holdup for you too.

The whole system is a joke. They expect us to survive without income for months while they sit on their a**es. 🤬

Here's what I've learned from going through this process multiple times: 1. Double-check all your paperwork. Even small errors can cause major delays. 2. If you haven't already, file a request for information about your claim status. 3. Contact your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. 4. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. This can be useful if you need to escalate. 5. Check if your employer has submitted all necessary forms on their end. 6. If you're really in a bind, consider reaching out to local non-profits that might be able to provide temporary assistance. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

have u tried faxing ur docs? I know it sounds old school but I heard it can be faster than mail or online submission

Just a heads up, they recently changed some policies about processing times. Might be worth checking if that's affecting your claim.
