PFL claim filed a month ago - no updates or payments. Normal wait time?

Ugh, I feel you. I waited almost 6 weeks before I heard anything back on my claim. The system is so backed up right now, it's ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? That's what finally worked for me.

A month with no updates is pretty standard these days, unfortunately. The whole system is overwhelmed. Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update there before sending anything out.

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 I've learned from my experience and research: • The standard processing time is 2-3 weeks, but it's often longer now due to high volume • Make sure all your documents are submitted correctly • Check your online account regularly for updates • If it's been over a month, definitely try to contact them • Be persistent with calling - early morning or late afternoon tend to be better times • Consider using an auto-dialer or paid service if you're really struggling to get through • Don't forget to certify for benefits every two weeks, even if you haven't heard back yet Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating, but you'll get there eventually!

have u tried faxing ur docs? I no it sounds old school but I heard it can speed things up sometimes

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around for months with no income? How are we supposed to survive? 🤬

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help move things along.
