PFL case stuck in processing for 6 weeks - need help ASAP!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can help move things along.

6 weeks is actually pretty normal these days. The system is totally overwhelmed. I know it sucks, but hang in there!

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about speeding up paid family leave cases: 1. Documentation is key. Make sure you've submitted ALL required paperwork. 2. Follow up regularly. Call or email at least once a week for updates. 3. Contact your local representative. Sometimes they can help expedite cases. 4. Check your online account daily for any requests for additional info. 5. If you're facing financial hardship, mention this when you contact them. Some states have provisions to expedite cases due to hardship. 6. Consider reaching out on social media. Some agencies are more responsive there. 7. Double-check that your employer submitted their part of the paperwork. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP.

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

have u checked ur online account? sometimes they need more info but dont tell u

This whole system is a joke. We pay into it our whole lives and then when we need it, we have to jump through a million hoops. 🤡

Have you considered reaching out to a local non-profit that helps with these kinds of issues? They might have some insider knowledge or connections.
