PFL claim verification nightmare - can't reach anyone on phone, help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my paid family leave claim. I got a call from the agency saying they needed to verify some info, but I missed it cause I was at work. Now I can't get through to them no matter how many times I call. The line is always jammed. They want to confirm I haven't gone back to work at either of my jobs (yeah, I've got two). Anyone else dealing with this? Any tips on how to actually reach a human being there?

No response from FMLA after weeks - job protection at risk. Help!
Has anyone else been waiting forever for a response about their FMLA application? I submitted mine weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. It's so frustrating! I'm worried about losing my job protection if this drags on much longer. Any advice on how to get through to someone?

EDD: How to get remaining weeks paid? Need advice for talking to agent
Hey everyone, I'm trying to get the rest of my weeks paid for unemployment. Has anyone gone through this process recently? I've submitted all my paperwork but I'm not sure what else I need to do. Any advice on what to say when I finally get through to an agent?

Ugh, I've been dealing with this for WEEKS. It's like they're purposely making it difficult. Anyone else feel like the system is designed to make us give up? 🤬
Preach! 🙌 It's a total clown show 🤡
Conspiracy theory: they're hoping we'll all just get jobs out of frustration 😂
Need help: EDD benefit percentage breakdown and approval letter for employer
Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out my unemployment benefits. Last time I called, they said I might get between 70-85% of my regular pay. I want to know the exact percentage and get an approval letter for my job to cover the rest. Has anyone gone through this process? What should I expect when I call them?

Has anyone had luck getting their employer to cover the difference? My company is being difficult about it.
I had to get HR involved, but eventually they agreed. Hang in there!
Check your employee handbook or contract. Some companies have policies about this.
Timesheet status stuck in limbo - need payday advice ASAP!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my timesheet at work. I submitted it last week but haven't heard anything back about its status. Has anyone else experienced delays in timesheet processing lately? I'm getting a bit worried since payday is coming up soon and I really need that check. Any advice on how to follow up or what might be causing the holdup?

Hey guys, I know this is frustrating but I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about these issues. 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM
Has anyone else tried this? Seems too good to be true tbh
It's legit, I promise. saved my sanity when I was dealing with a messed up claim. Sometimes you gotta spend money to save time 🤷♂️

Pro tip: if you have a friend who speaks another language, try calling the non-English line. Sometimes those have shorter wait times.
