If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Hey Skylar! I was in a similar situation last year and managed to get it sorted out. When you call the financial aid office, definitely be upfront about the mistake and ask specifically if they accept late CSS Profile submissions with a written explanation. Some schools will still process it if you submit within a certain timeframe after the deadline. Also ask about their appeal process - many schools have formal procedures for situations like this. Don't give up hope yet! The worst they can say is no, but you might be surprised. Keep us posted on how the call goes! 🤞

•@Paolo Marino This gives me so much hope! Thank you for sharing your experience. I m'definitely going to ask about both the late submission with written explanation and the formal appeal process when I call tomorrow. It s'reassuring to know someone else got through this. Did your school end up giving you the same aid package you would have gotten if you d'submitted on time, or was it reduced? Trying to manage my expectations here 😅

•@Paolo Marino Thank you SO much for this detailed advice! I m'feeling a bit more optimistic now. I ll'definitely ask about both the late submission with written explanation and the formal appeal process. Do you remember roughly how long it took for your school to get back to you after you submitted everything? I m'trying to figure out my timeline here since I still need to make enrollment decisions. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! 🙏

Just want to add another perspective here - I missed the CSS Profile deadline two years ago and was absolutely panicking just like you are now. Called BU's financial aid office the next day and they were actually really understanding about it. They let me submit a late CSS Profile with a brief letter explaining what happened (just a simple "I missed the notification email" explanation). The key things that helped me: - Called first thing in the morning when they opened - Was completely honest about the mistake - Asked specifically about late submission policies - Followed up with an email confirming what we discussed I did get aid, though it took about 3 weeks longer to process than normal. It wasn't the full amount I might have gotten if I'd been on time, but it was still substantial enough to make college affordable. Don't panic yet - BU tends to be pretty reasonable about these situations if you're proactive about fixing it. Good luck with your call tomorrow! 💪

•@Sara Unger This is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with BU specifically. It s'such a relief to know that they were understanding and that you still got substantial aid even with the late submission. I m'definitely going to follow your advice about calling first thing in the morning and being completely honest. The 3-week processing delay is totally fine as long as there s'still hope for aid. Really appreciate you taking the time to share the specifics of what worked for you - it s'giving me the confidence I need to make that call tomorrow! 🙏
