Choose your benefit

Find the estimate that fits your situation.

Start with the type of wage replacement benefit you are considering. These estimates can help you understand the numbers involved before you apply, certify, or decide whether to seek help with an EDD determination.

Unemployment Insurance

Estimate unemployment benefits

Use this if you lost work or your hours were reduced. Enter your claim date and recent quarterly wages to estimate your weekly benefit amount, total benefit amount, and payable weeks.

If EDD denied your unemployment claim, calculated your wages incorrectly, or issued an overpayment notice, a result here is not the final word.

Disability Insurance

Estimate disability benefits

Use this for a non-work-related illness, injury, pregnancy, or recovery period. The calculator uses your claim date and base-period wages to estimate your weekly benefit amount.

A benefit estimate does not decide whether EDD will accept a medical certification or find you eligible. If your claim was denied or delayed, PSLF can review your options.

When the estimate and EDD do not match

You do not have to navigate an EDD problem alone.

Pershing Square Law Firm helps Californians respond to benefit denials, underpayments, overpayment notices, and appeal hearings. A consultation can help you understand the next step in your particular case.

Fee Guarantee

No Relief, No Fee

Our law firm understands that hiring a lawyer can be challenging or even intimidating, but we are confident in our ability to help. That’s why we have created the Fee Guarantee.

What is the Fee Guarantee?

Our Fee Guarantee is a promise to obtain relief in your case. This means that if we do not obtain any relief in your case, you will not have to pay our fee.

What does the Fee Guarantee mean for you?

With the Fee Guarantee, you will have peace of mind that your attorneys are going to do their best to protect and promote your interests. You will know that any money you put towards the fee will be protected and fully reimbursed if we fail to obtain relief, providing you with:

  • Peace of mind.
  • We will aggressively pursue a favorable outcome for your case.
  • If the judge issues an unfavorable decision, we may pursue a second-level appeal at no additional cost to you.

Who is eligible for the Fee Guarantee?

The Fee Guarantee is offered to all clients, except for the following:

• EDD Tax Audit cases: Audit cases are cases we represent businesses that undergo an EDD audit for unpaid payroll taxes. The Fee Guarantee does not apply to such cases.

• Writ of Mandate cases: Writ of Mandate cases are cases in which our office appeals a denial by the Appeals Board to the Superior Court. These are often complicated and protracted cases. The Fee Guarantee does not apply to them.

• Cases deemed ‘high risk’: If an attorney deems a case as ‘high risk’ in the free consultation, we may either turn down the representation or offer representation under advisement that it is ‘high risk’. If the client chooses to proceed, we will not offer the Fee Guarantee.
