PFL claim pending for 2+ months - need advice on contacting them

I found a way to solve long Paid Family Leave delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2sVvky78gk

Ugh, I feel your pain. I went through something similar last year. Here's what worked for me: 1. Be polite but firm when you call 2. Have all your info ready (claim number, dates, etc.) 3. Ask specifically if there are any issues with your claim 4. Request a timeline for resolution 5. If they can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor Good luck! The system is a mess, but persistence pays off.

lol good luck getting through to anyone. I've been trying for weeks and can never get past the automated system. 🤡

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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there without sending a notification. Might save you a phone call.

OMG don't even get me started on PFL claims. I swear they lose half of them on purpose. 🤬 I had to refile mine THREE TIMES last year. Make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit!

Not to be that guy, but have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the PFL office and get things moving.

idk if this helps but I've heard they're super backed up bc of covid still. My friend works for the state (not PFL tho) and says all depts are struggling. doesn't make it suck any less tho 😔

Unpopular opinion: the whole system needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. It's a dinosaur trying to handle modern problems. Until then, we're all just gonna keep suffering. 🦖💀
