PFL claim stuck - put wrong last work date. Help!

I found a way to solve PFL application date error issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAmSb3jA_PE

Ugh, I feel your pain. The PFL system is such a mess rn. I made a similar mistake on my application and it took FOREVER to get it sorted out. My advice? Keep calling. It sucks, but its the only way to get it fixed.

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 you need to do: 1. Don't panic. Mistakes happen and they can be fixed. 2. Document everything. Write down the dates you originally put and what they should be. 3. Keep trying to call. Early morning is usually best. 4. If you can't get through by phone, try sending a message through your online account. 5. Be prepared to provide proof of your correct last day of work (like a pay stub). 6. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of PFL 🎪🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up

I had the exact same problem! It took about a month, but they eventually sorted it out. Just make sure you keep on top of it and don't let them forget about your claim.

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes it works when nothing else does. 📠

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's not just you - thousands of people are struggling with this bureaucratic nightmare. We should be writing to our representatives about this!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you internally and it's easier to get through that way.

Oof, been there done that. Got the t-shirt and everything. Hang in there OP, it'll get sorted eventually. Just gotta play the waiting game 🕰️

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Made a similar date mistake on my PFL application about 3 weeks ago. What I've learned so far: don't stress too much about it - these kinds of errors are apparently pretty common and fixable. I finally got through to someone last week (took literally 47 attempts over 3 days) and they said they see this all the time. They can correct it on their end, but you do need to speak to an actual person. The online messaging system is basically useless for this kind of issue. Keep trying to call, especially right at 8am when they open. Also, have your employment verification documents ready when you do get through - they'll likely ask for proof of your actual last work date. Good luck! 🍀
