PFL application submitted - no confirmation or payment info. What to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It's like they throw your application into a black hole or something. 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 you need to do: 1. Check your online account if you have one. Sometimes they update info there without sending notifications. 2. Send a follow-up email with your application number (if you have one) asking for a status update. 3. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence pays off. 4. If you have a local office, try going in person. Sometimes face-to-face works better. 5. Check your spam folder! I've heard of people missing important emails because they went to spam. Hang in there! The system is slow, but it does work... eventually.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy 🤡 where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter

Have you checked your mail carefully? Sometimes they send physical letters that look like junk mail. I almost threw mine away by accident!

This happened to me too. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my application got stuck. Keep calling and ask them to check if there are any technical issues with your application. Don't give up!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! It's been 6 weeks since I submitted my application and radio silence. I've been checking my online account daily and there's literally nothing - no status updates, no estimated timeline, nothing. It's so stressful especially when you're counting on that money. I tried the phone number but gave up after being on hold for 2 hours. Maybe we should all flood their social media pages until they respond? This is unacceptable for such an important program.
