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!

did u check ur spam folder for the invitation email? sometimes it goes there
Yes, I've checked spam, trash, everywhere! No invitation email to be found. I think it's definitely a system glitch rather than an email issue since nothing shows up in my dashboard either.
UPDATE: We finally got it working! What worked was a combination of several suggestions here. My daughter canceled the invitation, then we both logged out completely. I cleared my browser cache, and then we waited overnight. This morning she sent a new invitation, and this time when the email arrived, I clicked directly on the link in the email rather than going to studentaid.gov separately. That made all the difference! I can now see her FAFSA in my dashboard and complete the parent section. Thank you all for your help - this community saved us so much frustration!

my sister had same problem but college financial aid office helped her fix it maybe call your school??
That's a really good suggestion, I didn't even think to contact the financial aid office! I'll give them a call tomorrow.
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.
congrats!! gonna try this right now, fingers crossed it works for me too

That's encouraging to hear! Did you find the director's email on the school website or did you have to call to get it? I'm ready to be persistent but want to make sure I'm targeting the right person.

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!

i dont understand why they always gotta make things so complicated!!! my brother had to resubmit his whole fafsa last year because of some glitch, ended up getting less money because he missed the priority deadline. the financial aid system is rigged against regular people i swear

UPDATE: Just wanted to share that I followed the advice from this thread and it worked! I emailed all three schools with our confirmation number and SAI score. Two already responded confirming they've manually pulled the FAFSA data. I also used that Claimyr service someone mentioned to reach FSA directly, and they confirmed it was a system interface issue between the federal database and certain state systems. They flagged our application for immediate transmission to schools. Thanks everyone for your help - feeling much less stressed now!

•Thanks for the update! I'm going to try the same approach. Did you have to pay anything to use that service to reach FSA?

•Yes, there was a fee, but at this point it was worth it to get someone on the phone who could actually help. After spending hours trying to call directly and getting nowhere, I just needed to get it resolved before deadlines hit.
