PFL claim ghosted - sent form & birth certificate 2 weeks ago, no confirmation or payment. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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 you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all forms you've sent and note down dates. 2. Try calling again. Use the trick others mentioned about timing. 3. If calling fails, send a follow-up letter via certified mail. This creates a paper trail. 4. Contact your local state representative. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. 5. Check your online account if you have one. Sometimes updates are posted there. 6. Be persistent but polite. The staff are probably overwhelmed. Hang in there! The system is frustrating but you'll get through it eventually.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes their emails end up there lol

OMG I'm literally going thru the exact same thing rn! It's been 3 weeks for me and radio silence. This system is so broken 😤

Not to be that guy, but did you double check that you filled out the form correctly? I made a stupid mistake on mine and it delayed everything by a month 🤦‍♂️

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? Like, we're already stressed with a new baby, and then we gotta deal with this bs? smh

Hey, congrats on the new baby! Sorry you're dealing with this stress. If it makes you feel any better, I had a similar issue last year and it all worked out eventually. Sending positive vibes your way! ❤️
