I found a way to solve PFL claim payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oogX7TyWDGg

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat a few months ago. Here's what I did: 1. Call first thing in the morning, right when they open 2. Have all your docs ready - claim number, SSN, etc. 3. Ask about any missing info they might need 4. Get a specific timeframe for when you can expect payment 5. Ask if there's anything you can do to speed things up Stay persistent! It's frustrating, but you'll get there. Good luck!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without the endless hold times. 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

the whole system is broken af. i've been waiting 2 months for my claim to be processed. this is ridiculous. 🤬

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help expedite things. Worth a shot!

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.

anyone else notice that the website is always "under maintenance" when you try to check your claim status online? 🙄

Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough, but your payment will come through eventually. In the meantime, check if you qualify for any local assistance programs. Some cities have emergency funds for situations like this.
