PFL claim filed 12/3 - Will holiday delays push processing to next year? Need advice on expediting!

I found a way to solve PFL claim processing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xVNfgJUNzc

Ugh, I feel you. The holiday season is the worst time to be dealing with this stuff. I filed mine back in November and it's still pending. It's like they go into hibernation or something 🐻

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yeah, you're probably looking at delays until after New Year's. The whole system gets backed up this time of year. My advice? Start calling now and don't stop until you get someone on the line who can help.

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before and I've got some tips: • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. • Be polite but firm when you do get someone on the phone. • Ask for a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to. • Check your online account daily for updates. • Consider reaching out to your local representative's office. They can sometimes light a fire under these agencies. Remember, squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

Yo, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur agencies lol

I'm in the same boat, filed around the same time. Let's keep each other updated? Strength in numbers and all that jazz 💪

Hot take: the whole system is designed to be frustrating so people give up. Don't let them win! Keep pushing!

Pro tip: if you can, try to find out the name of the person handling your claim. Makes follow-up calls way easier.

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' documents? Make copies of EVERYTHING you send them. Trust me on this one.
