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!

Glad it worked out! Make sure you check your student email like every day from now on. They'll send important follow-up stuff there and if you miss those deadlines you could still lose out on aid!
That's a great tip - I just set up email notifications on my phone so I don't miss anything!
It's great your school extended their deadline! This is an unusual year due to the FAFSA simplification issues. For anyone else reading this thread who might be in a similar situation, here's what you need to know for 2024-2025: 1. The federal deadline is still June 30, 2025 2. Many (but not all) schools have extended priority deadlines 3. State deadlines vary widely - check studentaid.gov for your state 4. Submit all verification documents immediately if requested 5. Monitor your student email and portal daily for requests Even with extended deadlines, earlier submission is always better for maximum aid consideration.
Thank you for this summary! I'm definitely going to share this info with my friends who are also scrambling with FAFSA right now.

Thank you for the insider perspective! It's reassuring to hear this is a known issue. Out of curiosity, does time of day matter when submitting? Is there a

My daughter's FAFSA has been "processing" for almost 3 months now lol. Every time I call they give me a different answer. One person said it was because we have rental property (we don't), another said it was because of her dependency status (she's clearly dependent). The whole system is broken this year and nobody seems to know what's going on.
EXACTLY!!! The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. I've documented EIGHT completely contradictory answers from FSA representatives about my son's application. How are families supposed to make college decisions with this level of incompetence?!
Just a quick update based on what I'm seeing across multiple cases: if your SAI is being recalculated and you already received financial aid offers, the colleges will handle this in different ways: 1. Some will honor the original offer even if your SAI changes 2. Some will adjust only if the change is significant (usually >$2000 difference in SAI) 3. Some will recalculate everything, which could change aid amounts It really depends on the school's policies and how close you are to the decision deadline. The most important thing is to communicate directly with each financial aid office rather than waiting for the process to complete on its own.
This is really valuable information - thank you! My daughter reached out to her top three schools and they all said they'd honor the original aid offers as long as the SAI doesn't change by more than 10%. Such a relief!

One more thing to check - make sure your school has your correct banking information for direct deposit. Some schools default to paper checks if your banking info isn't in their system, which adds another week or two to the process.
Just double-checked and my direct deposit info is set up correctly. At least that part should be smooth once they finally process the refund!

Update on my situation - the adblock suggestion worked for me! Turned off all extensions and suddenly I could see the Complete button. My application is finally in review status after being stuck for almost a month. This is ridiculous that we have to troubleshoot a government website like this.

Has anyone received their actual SAI score yet after getting past the 'In Process' stage? I'm wondering how long that typically takes after the application moves to 'In Review' status. Our university needs the official SAI for scholarship consideration.

•The typical processing time after reaching 'In Review' status is 3-5 business days for the SAI calculation to be completed. However, with the system issues this year, we're seeing many taking 7-10 business days. If it's been longer than two weeks in 'In Review' status, that would warrant a call to FSA.
