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!

Everyone's advice has been so helpful! I just called the financial aid office and got confirmation. Here's what they told me: 1. We DO need to accept/decline by June 15th 2. We CAN reduce loan amounts later if scholarships come through by submitting a Loan Adjustment Form 3. The subsidized loan IS best to accept now since those funds are limited We're going to accept the full package now and then adjust when we hear about the scholarships. Such a relief to have a clear plan!
Smart move! That's exactly what we did with my son. Just make sure to submit that adjustment form as soon as you hear about any scholarships. Some schools have very specific deadlines for adjustments before each semester's disbursement.
Has anyone calculated their SAI from FAFSA yet? My daughter's SAI was way higher than we expected and we're appealing it. Just wondering if anyone else here has gone through the appeal process for better loan offers?
This is actually a different topic from the loan acceptance deadlines being discussed here. You might want to start a separate thread about SAI appeals to get better targeted responses. But yes, many families are finding their SAI (Student Aid Index) is higher under the new FAFSA formula.

Has anyone else noticed that the new FAFSA system seems to be creating way more problems than it's solving? Between the signature issues, the SAI calculation errors, and now this submission date problem... it's like they launched a half-finished product. I feel for the OP - this should not be so complicated!
fr fr!!!! my highschool counselor said they've never seen such a mess in 20+ years of helping students with fafsa!!!
UPDATE: I finally got through to the financial aid office at my daughter's first-choice school! The amazing woman I spoke with confirmed they CAN see our original January submission date in their system, but their automated process had flagged us for missing the priority deadline. She manually overrode it in their system and said we'll be considered as meeting the deadline! Still working on her other schools, but this gives me hope. For anyone with similar issues - be persistent and keep trying to reach a human at the financial aid office!
That's fantastic news! The human touch always makes the difference in these bureaucratic nightmares. Thanks for updating us!
Make sure to get this in writing somehow - either an email confirmation or a note in your student portal. You don't want this to somehow get lost in their system again later.

is anyone else's blue dot stuck at the contribution calculator part? mine gets to that section then freezes every time even in chrome
mine freezes there too sometimes! try turning off extensions or using incognito mode?
@profile8 The SAI (Student Aid Index) calculator section is particularly resource-intensive. If you're experiencing freezing at that specific point, try these troubleshooting steps: 1. Use incognito/private browsing mode 2. Close all other browser tabs and applications 3. Ensure your browser is updated to the latest version 4. Try a different time of day (the system is often overloaded during evening hours) If none of those work, you may need to call FSA directly as there could be a data mismatch issue with your specific application.

Final update: It worked! I waited about 36 hours after updating my FSA ID, and then my son sent a new invitation using my maiden name. This time it went through without any error messages. I was able to complete my contributor section, and now his FAFSA shows

Awesome!! So glad it worked out! The 2025-2026 FAFSA has been such a headache with all these little technical issues.
