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

I found a way to solve PFL claim not showing online, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Go2HrGspeo

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 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

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 🐌

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!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing works and everyones confused

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!

I had the exact same issue last month! My claim disappeared from the pending area for almost a week and I was panicking. Turns out there was a technical glitch on their end. I ended up having to call multiple times, but when I finally got through, the rep told me my claim was actually being processed normally - it just wasn't displaying properly online. She manually refreshed something in the system and it showed up again within 24 hours. Don't give up! The claim is probably still there, just not visible due to their wonky system.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my PFL claim about a week ago and it's like it vanished into thin air. The anxiety is real when you can't see any status updates. I've been reading through all these comments and it sounds like this is unfortunately pretty common with their system. Going to try the early morning call strategy and also double-check that I submitted everything correctly. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - it helps to know I'm not alone in this struggle! 🤞

I'm dealing with this exact same issue right now! Submitted my PFL claim about a week ago and it's completely missing from my online account. It's so stressful not being able to track the status. Reading through all these responses is actually really helpful though - sounds like this is a widespread problem with their system rather than something I did wrong. I'm going to try the early morning calling strategy and also double-check that all my documents were submitted properly. It's frustrating that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic information about our own claims! Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and tips. 🙏

I'm currently going through this exact same nightmare! Filed my PFL claim about 4 days ago and it's completely gone from my pending claims. I've been refreshing the page constantly thinking maybe it's just a temporary glitch, but nothing. It's so anxiety-inducing when you need this support and can't even confirm your claim exists in their system. Reading all these responses has been oddly comforting though - seems like their online portal is just completely unreliable. I'm definitely going to try the early morning calling approach and also check that all my paperwork went through correctly. Has anyone had success with the online messaging system that was mentioned, or is phone really the only way to get real answers? Thanks for starting this thread - it's helping me feel less crazy about this whole situation! 😅

I'm experiencing this exact same issue and it's so frustrating! Filed my PFL claim 6 days ago and it completely disappeared from my online account. I've been checking constantly and was starting to think I did something wrong during submission. Reading all these responses is actually really reassuring - sounds like this is a widespread system glitch rather than user error. The fact that so many people are dealing with missing claims suggests their online portal is seriously broken. I'm going to try calling first thing in the morning when they open, and also double-check that all my documents were submitted properly. It's ridiculous that we have to go through all this stress just to track our own claims! Thanks everyone for sharing - knowing I'm not alone in this makes it slightly less anxiety-inducing. 🤞

I'm going through this exact same issue right now! Filed my PFL claim about 5 days ago and it's completely disappeared from my online account. I keep logging in and refreshing hoping it will magically reappear, but nothing. The stress is real when you can't even confirm your claim is in their system! Reading through everyone's experiences here has been so helpful though - it's clear this is a major problem with their website and not something we did wrong. I'm definitely going to try the early morning calling strategy tomorrow. It's frustrating that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic information about our own claims, especially when we're already dealing with family situations. Thanks for posting this - it's such a relief to know I'm not the only one dealing with this nightmare! 😤

I'm dealing with this exact same problem right now! Just submitted my PFL claim 3 days ago and it's nowhere to be found in my online account. I've been refreshing the page constantly and was starting to panic that I somehow messed up the application. Reading all these responses is incredibly helpful - it's clear that their online system has serious issues and this isn't something we did wrong. The fact that so many people are experiencing missing claims is both reassuring and frustrating at the same time. I'm going to try calling right when they open tomorrow morning and also double-check that all my documents went through properly. It's ridiculous that we have to deal with this added stress when we're already managing family situations that require leave. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - knowing I'm not alone in this makes it so much less scary! 🙏
