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 everyone! I'm a current BU sophomore and just wanted to jump in with some additional reassurance. I missed my CSS Profile deadline freshman year too and was absolutely devastated - thought my college dreams were over! But here's the thing - BU's financial aid office is actually way more flexible than you'd expect. When I called (sobbing, honestly), they walked me through their options and I ended up getting most of the aid I needed. They have what they call "professional judgment" reviews where they can make exceptions for situations like ours. A few extra tips from my experience: - Have your FAFSA confirmation handy when you call - If the first person you talk to can't help, politely ask to speak with a supervisor - Be prepared to submit additional documentation if they ask (tax forms, etc.) - Don't be afraid to mention any special circumstances (job loss, medical bills, etc.) The worst part is the waiting and uncertainty, but you're going to get through this! BU wants you to succeed and they have programs in place to help students in exactly your situation. Sending positive vibes for your call tomorrow! 🍀💙

•@Ethan Wilson This is so encouraging to hear! I m'a prospective student dealing with the same CSS Profile nightmare and your story gives me hope that BU really does work with students in these situations. The professional "judgment review" sounds like exactly what I might need. Thank you for the practical tips too - I definitely wouldn t'have thought to have my FAFSA confirmation ready or to ask for a supervisor if needed. It s'amazing how supportive this community is! Really appreciate you sharing your experience and the positive outcome 💙

Hey Skylar! I'm a junior at BU and went through something very similar my freshman year - missed the CSS Profile by about a week and was absolutely panicking. Here's what worked for me: When you call tomorrow, ask specifically about their "extenuating circumstances" review. BU has a separate process for students who missed deadlines due to things like missed notifications, family emergencies, etc. They don't publicize it much, but it exists! Also, make sure to emphasize that you completed FAFSA on time - that shows you were trying to meet financial aid requirements and just had a communication mishap with the CSS Profile. If they can't do a late CSS submission, ask about: - Institutional need-based grants (separate from CSS Profile requirements) - Work-study opportunities - Payment plan options to make tuition more manageable The financial aid counselors I worked with were genuinely helpful and wanted to find solutions. Don't be discouraged if the first person you talk to can't help immediately - sometimes it takes a couple calls to get to the right person who knows about all the available options. You've got this! BU has a lot more flexibility than their published deadlines suggest. Keep us updated on how it goes! 🤞
