PFL payments missing for Feb-Apr. Anyone else not received theirs?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my PFL payments. I haven't received anything for February through April. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! I've been waiting for my payments since January. Have you tried calling them? It's nearly impossible to get through 🤬

I've tried calling but keep getting stuck on hold forever. It's driving me crazy! How long have you been waiting on the phone?

Honestly, I gave up after 2 hours on hold. This system is such a joke. We need our money!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes that way. Good luck!

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

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

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda sketchy...

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Can you give more details about how it works? Like, do you have to give them your personal info?

0 coins

Nah, you just put in the number you want them to call, pay, and they do the rest. When an agent picks up, they connect you. Simple as that.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the info there before sending out payments. Might give you a clue about whats going on

This is ridiculous. We pay into this system, and when we need it, it fails us. Has anyone considered reaching out to their local representatives about this issue? Maybe if enough of us complain, something will change.

OK, listen up folks. I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and account updates. 2. Check your online account daily. Sometimes they need additional info but don't tell you. 3. If calling doesn't work, try reaching out via social media. Seriously, their Twitter team can be surprisingly helpful. 4. Consider contacting your local legal aid. They might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction. 5. Don't give up! It's your money, and you're entitled to it. Remember, persistence is key. It sucks that we have to jump through these hoops, but stay strong and keep pushing!

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start documenting everything. Have you had success with contacting them on social media before?

0 coins

Yep! I tweeted at them last year when I had a similar issue. They responded within a day and helped me sort it out. Just be polite but firm.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I heard it can sometimes get faster results than mailing or uploading online.

Im so tired of this. Been dealing with payment issues since last year. Sometimes I think they hope we'll just give up and go away 😫

Hang in there! Don't let them win. We're all in this together 💪

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you initially filed for those months? Might be worth double-checking that everything was submitted correctly on your end.

0 coins

Yeah, I got confirmation emails for each month. That's why I'm so confused about the delay. Everything seemed to go through fine on my end.

Hmm, that is weird. Definitely sounds like it's an issue on their end then. Hope you get it sorted soon!
