PFL status and payment details - how to actually get info?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to check my PFL status and payment details but I'm having trouble getting through. Has anyone else had issues with this lately? Any tips on how to get the information I need?

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?

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

Can you explain more about how it works? Is it legit?

Sure! It's an automated system that navigates the phone tree and waits on hold for you. When a real person picks up, it calls your phone. Totally legit, just saves you the hassle of waiting.

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.

Personally, I've had the most luck with email. It takes patience, but I usually get a response within a week.

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.

This is actually great advice! I did this last year and it helped speed things up.

How do you find your local assemblymember?

Just google '[your city] assemblymember' and it should pop up. Most have contact info on their websites.

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.
