My husband went through something similar. Talk to your HR dept and see if they approved it on their end and if they’re able to see if you’ve earned enough $$ so far. My husband applied in February for the birth of our daughter in March, but he had just started his new job in January. His previous employer was in Nh so he hadn’t earned enough $$ in MA yet. His employer was able to tell him how much he needed to earn until the state would approve it. He decided to withdraw his application until he made that much and reapplied in July. He successfully took 12 weeks off for family Bonding starting in September and just went back this week. They make it so difficult, but don’t give up!
