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!

my roommate tutorsd at the mth center for 3 yrs says matrices are always confusing for everyone. don't stress so much, ur prob doing better than u think
Just to follow up - I remembered that some schools also have emergency grants for students at risk of dropping out due to financial or academic issues. Ask your financial aid office if they have retention grants or emergency completion funds. These could potentially cover private tutoring if the free resources aren't sufficient. Every school is different, but it's worth asking!
Update: I talked to financial aid today and you were right! My school has an "Academic Success Fund" that can cover up to $300 in approved academic support services if I'm at risk of losing my aid eligibility. Thank you so much for this suggestion!

U ALL R OVERTHINKING THIS!!!! fafsa lets u make corrections whenever. not a big deal. ive changed mine like 3 times already lol
While it's true you can make corrections, there IS a specific process and timeline. You cannot make corrections while the application is still processing - you must wait until it completes. And schools can potentially download data before corrections are processed, which is why communication with financial aid offices is important.
UPDATE: My application finally processed! It took 4 days. I was able to log in and submit the correction to my income information. The correction is now processing and the site says it should take another 3-5 days. I also emailed all my schools to let them know about the correction so they don't download the wrong information. Thanks everyone for your help!
glad it worked out! the waiting is so annoying but at least u caught it fast
This is great news! The fact that you've already notified your schools shows you're on top of things. They deal with corrections all the time, so this shouldn't impact your aid package as long as they have the correct information before they prepare your offer.

My nephew had a negative SAI too and ended up getting a full ride to his state school! But here's the thing - his roommate ALSO had a negative SAI and got much less aid at the same exact school. Turns out his roommate's parents had a lot of home equity and retirement savings that didn't count on FAFSA but did matter to the school's internal aid formula. So weird how it works!

so happy for u!!! we just finished ours too after weeks of trying. the relief is REAL. good luck to ur son with his college journey!
Update: We finally got the SAI calculation and thankfully it looks correct! For anyone still stuck - seriously try the contributor switch. And start the process WAY earlier than you think you need to next year.
Glad your SAI looks right! Ours was finally fixed but now we're dealing with verification 😭 They're asking for documents we already uploaded twice! The never-ending FAFSA saga continues...

UPDATE: We finally fixed it! Turns out we had two issues: 1. My husband was using his nickname on the FSA ID but his legal name on the FAFSA form 2. We were all signing from the same computer We updated his FSA ID to match his legal name exactly, waited 24 hours, then signed from separate devices (me on computer, him on tablet, daughter on phone) with about an hour between each signature. Checked this morning and our application is FINALLY processing! Thanks everyone for your help!

•That's great news! Thanks for updating us. This will help other families who run into the same problem. The name matching issue is so common but rarely explained in the error messages.
