PFL claim stuck in processing limbo - need advice on getting it approved ASAP

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through the same thing last month. It's so frustrating when you're waiting on money you need and the system moves at a snail's pace. Have you tried calling them directly? 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

Here's what I've learned from my experience with PFL claims: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all forms you submit and note down dates of all interactions. 2. Be persistent. Call regularly (but not excessively) to check on your claim status. 3. Use the online portal if available. Sometimes you can get updates there faster than by phone. 4. If you're facing financial hardship due to the delay, mention this when you speak to a representative. They might be able to expedite your claim. 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes can help push things along. 6. Double-check that your employer has submitted all necessary information. Delays can happen if they're slow on their end. 7. If you're really stuck, look into filing a complaint with the state labor board. Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system is frustrating but eventually it does work.

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes the approval emails end up there. happened to me and i was pulling my hair out for weeks before i found it lol

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. This country is a joke when it comes to supporting families. 🤬

Quick question - did you make sure to fill out form DE 2501F? I forgot to submit that one and it held up my entire claim for weeks. Just wanna make sure you didn't make the same mistake I did!

guys i just got my claim approved after 6 weeks of waiting!! there is hope! 🎉🎊 keep pushing and don't give up!
