PFL claim not showing in pending area online - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my PFL claim. It's not showing up in the pending area online. Has anyone else experienced this? I submitted it a few days ago and I'm getting worried. Any advice on what to do next?

Ugh, I've been there. The online system can be so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? Sometimes the website doesn't update as quickly as it should.

I've tried calling but keep getting stuck on hold forever. It's so annoying! 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have better luck getting through.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. It saved me hours of hold time.

20 bucks tho? Thats kinda steep for just a phone call 🤔

I get it, but for me, it was worth not wasting an entire day on hold. Time is money, ya know?

Sometimes the system glitches. Try logging out, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in. That fixed it for me once.

How long ago did you submit your claim? It can take up to 2 weeks to show up online sometimes. The system is soooo slow 🐌

It's been about 5 days now. I guess I'll try to be patient, but it's stressful not knowing!

Hang in there! 5 days isn't too bad yet. Give it a few more days before you start worrying.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check that you submitted all required documents. Missing paperwork can delay processing. 2. Verify your claim number and SSN are correct in the system. 3. If it's been more than 10 business days, try to contact them through their online messaging system. 4. As a last resort, send a certified letter requesting status update. Remember, the system is overloaded right now due to the pandemic. It's frustrating, but try to be patient. If you're in dire need, contact your local representative. They sometimes can help expedite things. Good luck!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Also, make sure you're using the correct website. There are a few scam sites out there!
