PFL claim for one week not paid, no info why. Help!

I found a way to solve unpaid PFL claim issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McpXwr2xAd8

Ugh, I feel your pain! I had a similar issue with my PFL claim last month. It's like they randomly decide which claims to process and which ones to ignore. Have you tried calling their customer service line? Sometimes you can get lucky and find a helpful agent.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what I've learned from dealing with PFL claims for the past year: 1. Always keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. 2. Follow up weekly if you don't hear back. 3. If possible, fax your documents instead of mailing them. It's faster and you get a confirmation. 4. Be persistent but polite when calling. The agents are usually trying their best. 5. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but you'll get your money eventually.

have you checked your online account? sometimes they update the status there before they actually process the payment. might give you a clue about whats going on

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting on a payment for 3 weeks now. This whole system is a joke. We need to tow the line and demand better service!

Quick question - did you submit your claim online or by mail? I've heard the online system has been glitchy lately.

tldr; PFL is a mess, water is wet. 🤷‍♂️
