PFL claim processing delay - any tips to speed it up?

I found a way to solve PFL claim processing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii_9JG8wQLo

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for what feels like forever on my PFL claim too. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? I heard sometimes that can help move things along.

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 before sending out any notifications. Might be worth a look if you haven't already.

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Been waiting for 6 weeks now. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. 🤡 How are we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time?

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about PFL claim delays: 1. Processing times can vary wildly, from 2-8 weeks on average. 2. Incomplete applications are the #1 cause of delays. Double-check that you've submitted all required docs. 3. If it's been more than 8 weeks, definitely try to contact them. 4. Keep an eye on your online account for status updates. 5. If you're facing financial hardship due to the delay, mention this when you do get through - it might help prioritize your claim. 6. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes can help expedite things. 7. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. The waiting game sucks, but you'll get through it.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard it can sometimes get faster responses than calling or emailing.

Just a heads up, I heard they're extra backed up right now cuz of some new system update. Might be why everythings taking forever. 🐌
