PFL not paying last 2 weeks - need help getting through!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my PFL payments. I need the last 2 weeks paid but I'm not sure how to go about it. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get through to someone who can help?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through to them for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to actually get our money 🙄

Same here! Its so frustrating. I've been calling everyday and just get a busy signal. Anyone know if there's a better time to call?

I heard early morning is best, like right when they open. But honestly, it's still a crapshoot 🤷‍♀️

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with PFL.

I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my local rep is?

Just google '[your city] state representative'. They usually have contact info on their website. Good luck!

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I'm skeptical. Why should we have to pay to get our benefits? The system is so broken 😤

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me so much time and frustration. Worth every penny for me.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and any correspondence. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Use the online portal if possible. Sometimes you can resolve issues there. 4. If all else fails, consider contacting your state representative or even local media. It's a pain, but don't give up. You're entitled to those benefits!

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that can help explain delays.

Yeah, I've been checking daily. It just says 'pending' with no other details 😕
