PFL payment pending for 6+ weeks - need advice!

I found a way to solve paid family leave payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhZu2Oyl9qQ

Ugh, I feel your pain! I waited almost 8 weeks for mine. The system is so backed up right now, it's ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? That's what finally worked for me.

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: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and any communication with them. 2. Double-check that you've submitted all required documents. Sometimes they don't tell you if something's missing. 3. Reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. 4. Be persistent. Keep calling and emailing. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. 5. Check your online account regularly for updates or requests for additional info. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🙃 I swear they must be using carrier pigeons to process these claims

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from them end up there. Also, make sure your mailing address is up to date in their system.

I'm in the same boat, its been 7 weeks for me. This is rediculous. How are we supposed to survive without income for so long?

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. That's when I finally got through after weeks of trying.
