PFL extension processed but no payment received - help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my PFL claim. I submitted an extension and it says it's processed with a weekly benefit amount, but I still haven't received any money. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat! π£ββοΈ It's so frustrating when they say it's processed but nothing shows up in your account. Have you tried calling them? That's usually the next step, but good luck getting through...

β’I've been trying to call for days but no luck. It's like they don't want us to reach them π

β’Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week!

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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

β’I get it, but for me it was worth it. Time is money, and I was wasting whole days trying to get through.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your claim status online. Sometimes there's additional info they need. 2. If it says processed, wait at least 10 business days for the payment to hit your account. 3. Make sure your payment method is correct (direct deposit vs debit card). 4. If still nothing after 10 days, you HAVE to call. Keep trying different times of day. 5. If calling fails, consider sending a secure message through your online account. 6. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite things. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to the office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face gets results faster.

Hot take: what if we all showed up at their main office with signs? Might get some media attention and force them to address the delays π

PSA: If your claim is related to pregnancy or bonding, make sure you've submitted all the required medical documentation. That can hold things up.

Anyone else notice that the website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? π
