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!

anyone else notice that every single year theres some kind of fafsa drama? but this year is like extra special terrible lol
This year is definitely in a league of its own. The FAFSA Simplification Act was supposed to make things better, but the implementation has been anything but simple. I've been in financial aid for 12 years and have never seen disruption at this scale.

UPDATE: The Department of Education just sent out an email to financial aid administrators confirming that correction access is now planned for July 17th, with a phased rollout. They've also announced they're adding additional support resources for institutions, including extended support hours and a dedicated hotline for processing questions. For those working with individual student issues, they've emphasized that students should still submit correction requests through studentaid.gov if possible, even though some corrections require institutional review. They've also officially acknowledged that the August 9th batch processing target date is still their goal, but with the caveat that it's dependent on the successful implementation of the correction access phase.

•Thanks for the update. The phased rollout concerns me - do you know how they're determining which institutions get access first? I hope it's not going to further disadvantage smaller schools.
Olivia Evans
•This is slightly better news, but still cutting it extremely close for fall semester. I'm advising all my students to have a backup plan for their first month of expenses just in case disbursements are delayed.

Thank you everyone for the helpful responses! I feel much better knowing this timeline is normal. I checked and found her SAI score in the Student Aid Report as suggested. We'll monitor the school portals weekly and plan to follow up directly with any schools we haven't heard from by early April. It's definitely an emotional rollercoaster waiting for these financial details before making such a big decision!

My kid's FAFSA has been "processed" for 2 months now and one of her top choice schools STILL hasn't sent an award letter. Everyone says "be patient" but how are we supposed to make decisions without knowing costs??? The whole system is so broken.
omg i know right?? they expect us to commit to tens of thousands in costs with like NO information until the last minute. it's ridiculous!!

Yes, it got fixed eventually but it took WEEKS of back and forth. We had to provide bank statements showing both names on the accounts, then a signed statement explaining how we divided everything. One school wanted copies of our divorce decree even though we explained multiple times we were still married, just filing separately! The whole system is designed for the simplest family situation and falls apart for anything complicated.

i did mine in january and still havent gotten my sai sent to my school yet. this new system is terrible!
You might want to log into your StudentAid.gov account and check the status. If it says processed but your school hasn't received it, you may need to verify that you correctly listed your school on the application. You can add schools even after submitting if necessary.
does anyone know if the october deadline is coming back next year? or is december the new normal?
The Department of Education has stated that they plan to return to the October 1 opening date for the 2025-2026 FAFSA. So this December launch was (hopefully) a one-time situation due to the implementation of the new system.

has anyone else noticed that the parent contribution calculator seems WAY off this year?? our family income didn't change much but our expected contribution nearly doubled with this new SAI system 😩

•The new SAI (Student Aid Index) calculation is indeed different from the old EFC formula. It uses different income protection allowances and asset calculations. Some families are seeing higher contributions while others are seeing lower ones. If your calculated SAI seems significantly off, I'd recommend scheduling an appointment with your school's financial aid office to discuss professional judgment options.
