PFL claim submitted over a month ago, no payment or updates. SDI went smooth but PFL is MIA. Help?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for my PFL claim to process for almost 6 weeks now. It's ridiculous how long it takes. Have you tried calling them? I've heard some people have had luck getting through and getting updates that way.

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. Be patient. Unfortunately, delays are common, especially during busy periods. 2. Double-check all your documents. Make sure you've submitted everything they need. 3. Use their online portal to check for updates or missing info. 4. If you can get through on the phone, be polite but persistent. 5. Consider reaching out to your local state representative if it's been an excessive wait. Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but you'll get your benefits eventually.

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we have to jump thru all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? the whole systems broken af 😤

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading them online? I've heard some people say it's faster, but idk if that's just an urban legend at this point lol

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you submitted your claim? I'm about to file mine and want to know what to expect.

Not to be that person, but have you checked your spam folder? I almost missed an important update because it got filtered out.

I'm in the same boat, waiting since early November. This wait is killing me. Bills don't stop just because EDD is slow 😫

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 faster than waiting on the main queue.
