PFL form MIA - How long did you wait for yours to arrive?

Hey everyone, I'm still waiting on my PFL form to arrive in the mail. It's been a while and I'm getting a bit anxious. Has anyone else experienced delays with receiving their form? Any tips on how to speed up the process or what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel ya. I waited FOREVER for mine to show up. Took like 3 weeks! Have you tried checking online? Sometimes they have forms you can download and print.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll def check online. Did you end up getting yours in the mail eventually or just use the online version?

Online is the way to go tbh. Save trees and time 🌳⏰

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this! 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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

100% legit. I was skeptical too but it saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo

$20 just to talk to someone? The system is so broken 🤦‍♂️

I get it, but when you factor in the time saved and stress avoided, it's worth it to me. Different strokes for different folks tho 🤷‍♀️

Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes you gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease.

Okay, let me break this down for you: 1. First, check your spam folder. Sometimes these forms get filtered out. 2. If it's not there, go to the official PFL website and see if you can download the form. 3. If that doesn't work, call them directly. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while. 4. Keep a record of when you applied and all your interactions with them. 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes help speed things up. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

I had the same issue last year. Turns out they had my old address on file 🤦‍♀️ Double check your contact info with them!
