PFL claim date correction taking forever - need advice

Ugh, I feel your pain. I had to deal with this last year and it was a nightmare. Make sure you have all your original paperwork handy when you call. They'll probably ask for the exact dates you worked before taking leave, so have your pay stubs ready too.

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

The whole system is broken af. I've been trying to fix my claim for THREE MONTHS. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🤡

Have you tried faxing your request? Sometimes that works better than calling. Here's the fax number I used: 1-855-027-1688

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather ALL your documents. I'm talking pay stubs, original claim paperwork, any correspondence from PFL, everything. 2. Write a clear, concise letter explaining why you need the claim date changed. Be specific and include dates. 3. If you can, get a letter from your employer confirming your last day of work before leave. 4. Use the fax number someone else mentioned, but ALSO mail a hard copy via certified mail. Cover all your bases. 5. Follow up with a phone call after a week. Use that Claimyr thing if you have to. 6. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every fax. Names and ID numbers of anyone you talk to. 7. If all else fails, contact your state representative. They can sometimes light a fire under PFL's ass. Stay persistent, and don't let them give you the runaround. Good luck!

have u tried going to the office in person? sometimes face-to-face works better

Just curious, why do you need to change the claim date? I'm about to file for PFL and wanna make sure I don't mess it up 😅
