PFL claim stuck since mid-December, no updates or funds. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting on my claim for almost 2 months now. It's like they just throw our applications into a black hole or something. Have you tried calling them? I've heard some people have had luck getting through.

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

The whole system is broken af. They expect us to just wait around with no money while they take their sweet time? It's not like bills and rent just magically stop. 🙄

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the department's ass and get things moving.

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your submissions, dates, and any communication attempts. 2. Double-check that you've submitted ALL required docs. Sometimes they don't tell you if something's missing. 3. Call first thing in the morning, right when they open. Be prepared to wait. 4. If calling fails, try emailing. Include your claim number and all relevant details. 5. Reach out to your local state representative or senator. They can often expedite claims. 6. Check if there's an online portal where you can view your claim status. 7. If all else fails, consider filing a formal complaint with the department. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Also, make sure you're logging into the online portal regularly for updates.
