PFL application: No response after a month. Normal wait time?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for 6 weeks now. It's ridiculous how long they make us wait. Have you tried calling them? I heard sometimes that can help move things along.

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 I know about the paid family leave process: • Processing time is usually 2-3 weeks, but can take up to 6-8 weeks during busy periods • Make sure all your paperwork is filled out correctly and completely • If you haven't heard back after 4 weeks, try to contact them • You can check your claim status online through their portal • Sometimes they need additional info and will send a letter - check your mail carefully! • If you're really in a bind, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help speed things up. Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system is slow but it usually works out in the end.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 I swear they run on internet explorer and fax machines

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. I almost missed an important update because of that!

idk if this helps, but I had luck reaching out on Twitter. Their social media team sometimes responds faster than phone/email.

Ive been threw this before. It sucks but hang in their. The money will come eventually, just might take a while. Maybe see if you can get an extension on some bills?
