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!

After using Claimyr to get thru to FSA, the agent told me they found a mismatch between our reported household size on FAFSA vs what the IRS data showed. We're a blended family situation so it's complicated. They fixed it over the phone! Our SAI finally showed up this morning. So relieved!
Just wanted to update - I tried Claimyr after seeing your comment and it actually worked! Got through to an agent in about 20 minutes. Turns out there was a verification flag on our application because my daughter's social security number had a transposed digit. They fixed it immediately and said our SAI should be available within 3-5 business days. THANK YOU for suggesting this!

That's encouraging! When did you initially submit your application? I'm trying to figure out if there's any pattern to when they're completing applications.

my uncle said he didnt report his pension and they never caught it lol but i wouldnt recommend that!!

•This is extremely risky. FAFSA verification can randomly select applications, and if they find discrepancies between your FAFSA and tax returns, it can lead to serious consequences including loss of all aid, potential repayment of funds already received, and even fraud charges in extreme cases. Always report everything accurately.
You kno what really gets me? With the new FAFSA supposedly being "simpler," they've made everything MORE confusing!!! They keep changing the rules and can't even get their website working right. My daughter's college fund is going to therapy for the FAFSA-induced stress disorder!!!! 😫

•lol FAFSA-induced stress disorder is so real! I'm still traumatized from helping my son last year.

Did your son try using a different browser? Sometimes the FAFSA website acts weird on certain browsers. My daughter couldn't access her section on Chrome but it worked fine on Firefox. Also make sure popup blockers are disabled!
Laura Lopez
•YES THIS!! the website is so buggy. i had to use microsoft edge of all things to get mine to work last month. google chrome kept freezing on the signature page.
UPDATE: We got it working! Turns out my daughter needed to create her own FSA ID first (exactly as suggested). Once she did that and logged in directly through studentaid.gov instead of the email link, she could see and edit her section of the FAFSA. Thanks everyone for your help! For anyone else reading this in the future - make sure BOTH parent and student create their own separate FSA IDs before trying to complete the FAFSA. The high school really should have made this clearer in their graduation requirements info.

One more tip regarding the 2025-26 FAFSA timeline: - Create FSA IDs now (October/November) - Application opens December 1, 2024 - Complete FAFSA as soon as possible after opening (ideally December/January) - Student Aid Index (SAI) calculation typically arrives 3-5 days after submission - Schools receive your information after SAI calculation - Aid packages typically sent February-April depending on the school Even though the deadline isn't until June 30, 2026, many state and institutional aid programs have much earlier deadlines and some operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Always aim to submit as close to the December opening as possible.

•This timeline is extremely helpful! I had no idea some aid was first-come, first-served. We'll definitely aim to submit in December. Is the 2025-26 application based on our 2023 tax information like the current application?

Yes, the 2025-26 FAFSA will use your 2023 tax information (which you filed in 2024). This is part of the prior-prior year system they use now, which makes it easier since you'll already have completed those tax returns. One other thing to prepare - if you and your daughter both have smartphones, I recommend downloading the myStudentAid mobile app. You can create the FSA IDs and complete the FAFSA through the app as well, and some people find the mobile interface easier than the desktop site.

•Perfect! We already have our 2023 taxes filed, so that part should be straightforward. I didn't know about the mobile app - will definitely check that out. Thanks for all the help!
