PFL claim still pending after weeks - what to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been waiting on my PFL claim for what feels like forever. It's so frustrating not knowing what's going on or when it'll be approved. Have you tried calling them? I've heard it's nearly impossible to get through, but maybe worth a shot?

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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what I've learned from my experience with PFL claims: • Be patient: Processing times can vary wildly depending on their workload • Double-check your application: Make sure you've submitted all required documents • Keep an eye on your mail: They might send requests for additional info • Use your online account: Sometimes updates appear there before you get a letter • Don't be afraid to follow up: If it's been more than 4 weeks, definitely give them a call Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating, but you'll get through it eventually.

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

Have you checked if your employer submitted their portion of the claim? Sometimes that can hold things up.

Ive been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. its ridiculous how long this takes. dont they know people have bills to pay???

Just a heads up, they recently updated their system and it's causing some delays. Might be why your claim is taking longer than usual.

Anyone else notice how the wait times seem to get longer every year? I swear it used to be so much faster back in the day. 😩
