PFL claim pending for a month, already back at work. No payment yet. Help!

I found a way to solve PFL claim payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNO2pugr_EI

Ugh, I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat rn. Filed 6 weeks ago and crickets. 🦗 It's like they're purposely trying to make us suffer.

I found a method to 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 tried emailing them? Sometimes that works better than calling. Here's a template I used: Subject: Follow-Up on Pending PFL Claim Dear EDD, I'm writing about my PFL claim submitted on [DATE]. It's still pending and I haven't received any payments. I returned to work on [DATE] and need an update on the delay. Please let me know if you need any additional info from me. Thanks, [YOUR NAME]

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's broken af and nobody in charge seems to care. 🤬

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there before sending out payments or notifications.

Word of advice: document EVERYTHING. Every call, email, letter. You might need it if things get messed up (which they probably will lol). I learned this the hard way. 😩
