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!

lol mine took 2 weeks after processing to show up but my cousins showed up in like 2 days. its totally random.

•TWO WEEKS??? That's ridiculous! The system is so broken.
Maya Patel
UPDATE: My SAI finally appeared this morning! It took exactly 4 business days after the processing complete status. Thanks everyone for calming me down and helping me through this. Now onto figuring out what this SAI number actually means for my financial aid package... 😬
Great news! If you need help interpreting your SAI and what it means for your aid package, feel free to start a new thread. There are several of us here who can explain how schools use the SAI to determine grant eligibility, loans, and work-study options.

You know the whole system is so CRAZY right now with the new FAFSA. My daughter submitted in January and we still don't have the right SAI calculation! First they calculated it wrong, then they fixed it, then they changed it AGAIN. And schools are telling us different things about what aid she'll get based on which SAI they're looking at! The dept of education is a complete mess. Good luck getting anything done on time!!!

•truth!! the new FAFSA is a total disaster this year
While there have certainly been challenges with the new FAFSA, most issues are being resolved more efficiently now. The Department of Education has added additional staff and extended deadlines at many institutions. The initial SAI calculations had some issues, but most have been corrected in recent processing.
btw make sure u actually get confirmation that northeastern received the fafsa! my brother's school said they never got his even tho we added them and it said processing completed. had to call fsa and have them manually send it again
That's a good point - I'll definitely follow up with Northeastern directly once the processing is complete. Thanks for the heads up!

anyone else think its weird that we have to do this every year? my cousins in canada just fill out one form for their whole college time, not this yearly nonsense with all these glitches and problems. the whole FAFSA system needs to be redone from scratch tbh
StarStrider
•YES!!!! its so stupid. and they say the "simplified" it this year lolololol
Carmen Ruiz
•While I understand the frustration, annual filing is actually necessary because family financial situations change year to year. The verification process ensures aid goes to those who need it most based on current circumstances. That said, the implementation this year has been problematic.
UPDATE: We figured it out! After trying everything suggested here, we found the issue. My daughter had a typo in her email address on the FAFSA, so the verification emails were going nowhere. We fixed the email, then I was able to complete the signature process WITHOUT the loop! Just got confirmation that it's processing now. We also contacted the financial aid offices at her top schools like @financialaidpro suggested, and they've been super helpful. They're going to prepare preliminary aid packages while we wait for the official SAI. Thanks for all the suggestions! For anyone else stuck in signature loop hell, check every single detail on your application - one tiny error can cause the whole system to break.
That's fantastic news! And a great reminder to everyone about checking those basic details. Glad you got it sorted out and that the schools are working with you on preliminary packages. Good luck to your daughter with college!
omg trying this right now!! i bet this is my problem too!

If you're struggling to get through the FSA phone line, seriously try Claimyr.com - it saved me days of frustration. They connect you with an agent without you having to wait on hold. Their video demo (https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ) shows exactly how it works. With all these FAFSA delays, getting actual answers from a live agent made a huge difference for us.

Update: I called my daughter's financial aid office and they confirmed what everyone here said - $7,500 is indeed the federal limit for undergraduate seniors. We're going to apply for a Parent PLUS loan to cover the remaining costs. They also suggested looking into school-specific scholarships that are sometimes available just for seniors about to graduate. Thanks everyone for clarifying this!

The whole student loan system is RIDICULOUS! Graduate students can borrow unlimited amounts through PLUS loans but undergrads are restricted to these tiny amounts that haven't changed in YEARS despite tuition increasing EVERY SINGLE YEAR! My daughter graduated with $32,000 in debt which was the absolute minimum possible even with us helping! The system is BROKEN!

•Just to clarify, graduate students don't have unlimited borrowing - the Grad PLUS loans are capped at the cost of attendance minus other financial aid received. But you're right that undergraduate limits haven't kept pace with rising costs.
