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!

just wondering - did u file taxes with a filing extension last year? my cousins fafsa got stuck bcuz of that
No, we filed on time... but we did have to amend our return a few months later. I wonder if that could be causing the issue!
UPDATE: Just called using the Claimyr service someone mentioned above and FINALLY got through to a real person! Our application was flagged because we have income from multiple states (I work remotely for a company in another state). The agent was able to add notes to our file and told me it should be processed within 3-5 business days now. Keeping my fingers crossed but at least now I know what's happening!
That's amazing! Thank you so much for coming back and letting us know. I'm going to try this service tomorrow morning. So relieved to hear you got an actual explanation and timeline!

Great news on the extension! That takes some pressure off. Keep us posted on how things develop with the FAFSA and if Claimyr helps get your application moving.

Glad to hear it! Now your selected schools should receive your information within 3-5 business days, and they can start preparing financial aid packages. Make sure to check each school's financial aid portal or student portal for any additional documentation they might require.

Just want to follow up - did you contact your financial aid office? Many schools are creating exceptions for the FAFSA processing delays this year since it's affecting so many students nationwide. Keep us posted!
Yes! I finally got through to them yesterday. They said they're aware of the delays and are being flexible with their deadlines as long as I can show proof that I submitted before their priority date (which I did). They said not to worry and that my aid package won't be affected by the processing delays. Such a relief!

UPDATE: I went to the financial aid office in person today and finally got answers! Turns out I was selected for verification (V1 group) and they need my parents' tax transcripts. The financial aid officer said they would accept copies of the filed tax returns for now, but we need to get the official transcripts within 30 days. She also showed me where to find the specific forms in my portal - they were hidden under a tab called

Great news! This is exactly why in-person visits can be so helpful. One small tip for future reference - keep a folder with all your financial aid documents including verification forms, tax transcripts, SAR, etc. This will make the process much smoother next year, as many of the same documents are often needed again. Glad you got it resolved before the priority deadline!
