PFL application stuck for 4+ weeks, no benefits or updates. Help!

I found a way to solve PFL application delays and frustration, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omYLScwxYzU

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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've learned from my experience with PFL: • Processing times can vary wildly, especially during busy periods • Sometimes applications get stuck in the system without any notification • It's crucial to follow up if you haven't heard anything after 2-3 weeks • Keep all your documentation handy, they might ask for additional info • If possible, use their online portal to check your claim status • Don't be afraid to escalate to a supervisor if you're not getting answers Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system can be a real pain sometimes.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes their emails end up there lol

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting 6 weeks now. This is ridiculous!

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

OP, make sure you and your wife didn't accidentally apply for the same type of leave. That can cause delays.

Anyone else notice how the wait times have gotten worse since covid? It's like they never staffed back up 🙄
