PFL claim says 'processed' but no payment yet - Money Network users, how long did it take for you?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my PFL claim. It says 'processed with a weekly benefit' but I still haven't received any money. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the payment to show up? I'm using Money Network if that makes a difference. Also, what exactly does it mean when the status changes to 'paid'? Any help would be appreciated!

Typically, it takes about 7-10 business days after your claim is marked as 'processed' to receive the payment. When it says 'paid,' it means the payment has been issued and is on its way to you. With Money Network, it usually appears within 1-2 business days after being marked as 'paid.

This is helpful, thanks! Do you know if weekends count in those 7-10 days?

Nope, it's usually just business days. So if it was marked 'paid' on a Friday, you should see it by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

I've been through this before. Here's what I've learned: • 'Processed' means they've approved your claim and calculated your benefit amount • 'Paid' means they've sent the payment to your chosen payment method • With Money Network, it's usually pretty quick - 1-2 business days max • If it's been longer than that, definitely call them • Keep an eye on your Money Network account, sometimes it shows up there before you get any notification Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

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

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes the notification emails end up there. Also, double-check that all your info in the system is correct - I once had a delay because my address was slightly off.

Good idea, I'll check my spam folder now. Everything else should be correct, but I'll double-check. Thanks!

3 weeks?! That's way too long. You need to call them ASAP. Use that claimyr thing someone mentioned if you can't get through.

Pro tip: if you're really in a bind, reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help push things along with PFL claims. Worked for me when I was stuck in limbo for weeks!

This is brilliant advice! I never thought about contacting my state rep's office. How exactly did you reach out to them? Did you call their local office or email? And how long did it take for them to help resolve your issue?
