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!

Quick question for anyone who might know - does this same process apply for the CSS Profile? My daughter needs to correct some information there too since we're applying to some private schools that require it. Would I need to re-sign that as well or is it different from the FAFSA?
The CSS Profile works differently than FAFSA. For CSS Profile corrections, your daughter would typically need to contact each school's financial aid office directly to request the change. Some schools have a specific CSS Profile correction form on their financial aid website. Unlike FAFSA, there's no central correction process - each school handles CSS Profile updates according to their own procedures.
Final update - we both signed yesterday and today her application already shows as "processed" with her updated SAI score! That was faster than I expected based on what everyone said. Now I just need to figure out what this SAI number actually means for her financial aid package... but that's probably a question for another thread! Thanks again everyone.
Nice! You got lucky with the quick processing time! And yes, understanding the SAI is a whole different headache lol. Congrats on getting it fixed!

my daughters having similar problems with fafsa too but with getting me and dad both verified...system keeps saying our tax info doesnt match but we filed jointly last year so idk whats happening...anyone else see this? sorry not exactly same issue as yours but thought maybe related
That's a different issue, but also common. When both parents complete their sections with jointly filed taxes, sometimes the system flags a discrepancy because it's comparing the same tax return twice. You should contact support about that specific verification issue - they can manually review and override it.
UPDATE: We tried the suggestion to log out completely, clear browser cache, and log back in - and it worked! When my daughter logged back in and went to the Contributors section, there was a small icon in the corner that wasn't visible before that allowed her to add another contributor. She was able to send the invitation to my husband. Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions! For anyone else facing this issue, definitely try clearing your cache first before spending hours on the phone.
That's great news! Glad it worked for you. This definitely seems to be a browser caching issue for many people. And just an additional tip for others reading this: if you're using the FAFSA mobile app instead of the website, you might need to completely close and restart the app to see updated options like this.

•The order no longer matters with the new FAFSA. All schools listed receive the information at the same time once the application is fully complete (including all contributor sections). The old preference order advantage was eliminated with the 2024-2025 FAFSA changes.

UPDATE: My verification finally went through after about 36 hours! Just got the email and was able to log in and complete my section. The tax information transfer worked smoothly, though I had to manually enter some asset information. We got our SAI calculation immediately after submission. Thanks everyone for the reassurance that this was normal!

•Thanks for updating us! I'm still waiting (24 hours in) but this gives me hope! Did your son's schools already show that they received the FAFSA or is there another waiting period for that?

•The confirmation page said the schools should receive it in about 3-5 days. There's a section in his FAFSA dashboard that shows 'Processing' status for each school he listed.
