PFL hasn't acknowledged DE 2580GF form after 2 weeks - What to do about duplicate submission?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating when they don't even acknowledge receiving your paperwork. I'd say definitely call them and ask about both submissions. Better to have them sort it out than risk your benefits getting messed up.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep copies of everything you submit. EVERYTHING. 2. Send a follow-up email referencing your original submission date. 3. If you can, fax the form as well. Some offices still prefer fax 🤷‍♂️ 4. Call them daily. Yes, it's annoying, but persistence pays off. 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative's office. They can often help push things through. Don't worry about the duplicate submission. It's better to have sent it twice than not at all. Just make sure to mention both submissions when you talk to them. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't be afraid to be that squeaky wheel!

lol welcome to government efficiency at its finest 🤡 I swear they lose half the forms people submit

I found a method 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

Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any notifications.

Pro tip: send it certified mail next time. That way you have proof they received it. Saved my butt more than once!

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my old address on file and all my mail was getting sent to the wrong place. Might be worth double-checking your contact info with them.

Two weeks aint nothin. I've been waiting 2 MONTHS for them to process my form. The system is broken af

Anyone else notice that ever since they "upgraded" their computer system, everything's been slower? 🤔

I feel your frustration! Two weeks with no acknowledgment is really stressful when you're depending on these benefits. I'd definitely recommend calling them about both submissions - it's better to be upfront about the duplicate than have it cause confusion later. One thing that helped me was keeping a detailed log of every submission with dates, times, and confirmation numbers (if any). Also, try calling first thing in the morning right when they open - I've had better luck getting through then. Don't give up! Sometimes it takes multiple attempts but persistence usually pays off with these agencies. Hang in there - you're not alone in this struggle! 💪
