I found a way to solve PFL claim processing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k51vLbykYME

im so tired of this. been waiting 6 weeks now. bout to give up fr

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading? Heard it might be faster

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

Same boat here. Filed mine 3 weeks ago and crickets. The waiting game is killing me 😫

Plot twist: what if all our claims are actually processed but the notification system is broken? 🤔

Anybody else notice that ever since they "upgraded" the system, everything's been slower? 🐌

I found a method to get someone on the phone. 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

Ugh, the PFL system is such a mess rn. I swear they're purposely making it hard to claim benefits 🙄

Hi! I understand how frustrating it can be when dealing with delays in your Paid Family Leave (PFL) claim. While the current backlog can be difficult, there are a few proactive steps you can take to potentially expedite the process. First, try calling during non-peak hours, such as early morning or late in the afternoon. You might also consider using Claimyr, which some users have found helpful in navigating phone systems, though it's important to gauge whether the cost aligns with your needs. Additionally, double-check that all your documentation is correctly submitted and complete since any missing information can cause delays. If you're comfortable with it, reaching out to your local representative for assistance can be a route to consider, as they sometimes can help expedite the process or provide updates. Lastly, while it might not seem effective, regularly checking your claim status online and documenting all interactions with the PFL office could provide you leverage if you need to escalate your claim further. Balancing patience with persistence might ultimately guide you through this challenging time.

guys i just got my claim processed after 2 months!!! there is hope!!!

Here's what I've learned about PFL claims after dealing with this mess for months: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all forms you submit. 2. Follow up regularly. Call or email at least once a week. 3. Be persistent but polite. The person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too. 4. Check your online account daily for updates. 5. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, the system is backlogged, but your claim will get processed eventually. Hang in there!

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.
