PFL application stuck in limbo - no approval or updates for weeks. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with my Paid Family Leave application. It's been weeks and I still haven't received any approval or notice. I'm starting to get really worried because I need this compensation. Has anyone else experienced delays with their PFL application? Any advice on what I should do next or who I should contact? I'm feeling pretty lost here.

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling their customer service line? It's a pain to get through, but once you do, they can usually give you an update on your application status.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been trying to call but keep getting stuck on hold forever. It's so frustrating! 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You might have better luck getting through!

I found a method to 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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but honestly, it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 2 hours, but I just went about my day and got the call when an agent was available. Way better than being stuck on hold!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a record of when you submitted your application and any communication you've had. 2. Check your online account if you have one. Sometimes updates are posted there before you receive anything in the mail. 3. If calling isn't working, try emailing. Include your application number and all relevant details. 4. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with these issues. 5. Be persistent but polite. The system is overwhelmed, but you have a right to know the status of your application. 6. If all else fails, consider filing a formal complaint with the department. Hang in there! The process can be slow, but don't give up. You're entitled to these benefits.

3 months?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local rep?

Yeah, fat lot of good that did. Got a generic response saying they'd 'look into it'. Still waiting... 🙄

Quick question - did you make sure to fill out Form XYZ-123? I forgot that one and it delayed my whole application by weeks.

Oh no, I'm not sure if I did... Where can I find this form?

It should be on the PFL website under 'Additional Forms'. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll try to dig up the direct link.
