Accidentally selected Disability instead of PFL on benefits website. How to fix without paying again?

I found a way to solve wrong benefit option selection error, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka_WHkqnkrU

Ugh, that sucks! I've done something similar before. Unfortunately, most government websites are not very user-friendly. You might have to call them directly to sort it out. Be prepared for a long wait time tho 😫

I found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried logging back into your account? Sometimes there's an option to edit or cancel a submission within 24 hours. Might be worth checking!

This is why I always screenshot every step when I'm dealing with government websites. It's saved my butt more than once when I needed to prove what I submitted. lesson learned for next time, I guess 🤷‍♂️

The whole system is a joke tbh. They make it so complicated on purpose i swear. good luck getting it sorted out OP!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic. This happens more often than you'd think. 2. Try to log back in and see if there's an option to edit your submission. Some systems allow changes within 24-48 hours. 3. If that doesn't work, call the office directly. Be prepared with your claim number and all relevant info. 4. Explain the situation calmly. Most reps are understanding if you're polite. 5. If the phone lines are jammed, try reaching out via email or their online contact form. Keep your message clear and concise. 6. As a last resort, you might need to submit a new application. Ask if they can waive the fee given the circumstances. 7. In the future, always double-check before submitting and take screenshots of each step. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up if the first person you talk to can't help. Sometimes you need to speak to a supervisor or a different department. Good luck!
