- Click on the Claims in the Menu section
- Scroll down to the Claim Details section on the page
- Here you can see the Pending, Settled, and Rejected Claims Tab. To see the claims that are being processed, click on the Pending Claims tab
- If the EPFO Claim that has been submitted is settled, then it can be seen under the “Settled” Claims section.
If the claim has not been settled and it’s still under processing for more than 2 weeks (or) 10 working days then file a PF grievance at EPFO Grievance Portal
