PFL status and payment details - how to actually get info?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been trying to get info on my PFL status for weeks. The system is so frustrating 😤

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 about checking PFL status and payments: 1. Online portal: Try logging into your account on the state's website. Sometimes the info is there, but buried. 2. Phone calls: Best times are usually right when they open or an hour before closing. 3. Email: Send a detailed email with your claim number. It might take a few days, but you often get a response. 4. In-person office: If you're really stuck, try visiting a local office. Bring all your paperwork! 5. Social media: Some people have had luck reaching out via Twitter or Facebook. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info.

Anyone else notice that the PFL website seems to be down like every other day? 🤦‍♂️

Pro tip: if you cant get through on the main line, try calling your local assemblymember's office. They often have direct lines to PFL and can help push things along.

I'm in the same boat, been waiting on my PFL payment for 2 months now. This system is a joke 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing their inquiries? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can be effective.
