PFL application stuck in limbo - no approval or updates for weeks. Help!

I found a way to solve Paid Family Leave application delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DmK9leg1rU

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.

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

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.

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes important emails end up there lol

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting on my claim for 3 months now. It's a joke. 🤡

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

guys i think we're all missing the bigger picture here. why do we even need to jump through all these hoops for basic support? the system is rigged against us working folks 😤
