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!

Another tip - after you submit, SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING!! I learned this the hard way when FSA claimed they never received documentation I uploaded. Had no proof and had to resubmit which cost me another 2 weeks.
Luca Romano
•Great advice! I'll definitely do that. Do they send a confirmation email with submission details that would help too?
Nia Jackson
•They send a confirmation but it doesn't include all the details you entered. Screenshot the confirmation page that shows up right after submission - it has the detailed summary of everything.

If your FAFSA does get flagged because of errors, don't panic! I had mine flagged for verification last year (apparently my dad's SSN was entered incorrectly). I submitted the correction online, then contacted my school's financial aid office directly. They were able to push my application through their system once the correction was processed. The key is being proactive and not just waiting for automated emails.

•this!! financial aid offices can do way more than most ppl realize if you actually go talk to them in person

Hey so i had a sorta similar question - do we have to like tell the schools somehow that we did the FAFSA? Or do they automatically get notified? My FAFSA was submitted 5 weeks ago but none of my schools have sent me anything about financial aid yet.
The schools you listed on your FAFSA should automatically receive your information once it's processed. However, if it's been 5 weeks and your FAFSA shows as processed on studentaid.gov but you haven't heard from schools, you should: 1. Verify that your FAFSA shows "Processed" not "Processing" 2. Confirm all schools were correctly listed with proper school codes 3. Contact each school's financial aid office directly to check if they received your FAFSA Some schools won't send award letters until you're admitted, so that could also explain the delay.
when my brother applied he forgot to hit submit after filling everything out and thought he was done lol. double check u actually submitted it all the way!!!
Yara Nassar
•Lol I definitely submitted it! I can see my SAI score now on the website. Just waiting for schools to send their actual aid offers. Fingers crossed they come soon!

Update: My form finally reappeared after exactly 3 days. No explanation, no notification, it just showed up again with a yellow alert about the missing signature. The whole system is completely unpredictable.
Kaylee Cook
•Thank you for sharing! That gives me hope. I'm on day 2 of waiting.
Kaylee Cook
UPDATE: The form reappeared this morning (about 40 hours after disappearing). There was a section at the bottom where my husband needed to re-sign with his FSA ID. After completing that step, we immediately got a confirmation email saying the FAFSA is now complete. What a stressful experience! Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance.
Great to hear! Glad it worked out without having to call anyone. This year's FAFSA is definitely testing everyone's patience.

MuchÃsimas gracias por esta información tan detallada. Me tranquiliza saber que sà están procesando las solicitudes en papel aunque tarden más. Voy a seguir sus consejos.
¡Actualización! Finalmente pude hablar con un agente de FSA (gracias a la recomendación de usar Claimyr) y confirmaron que recibieron mi aplicación en papel hace 2 semanas. Me dijeron que el tiempo de procesamiento actual es de aproximadamente 8 semanas para aplicaciones en papel, asà que todavÃa me toca esperar. El agente me recomendó crear una cuenta en studentaid.gov de todas formas porque ahà podré ver cuando esté procesada, aunque haya aplicado en papel.\n\nGracias a todos por sus consejos y por compartir sus experiencias. Me ayudaron mucho a entender el proceso.

One thing to keep in mind - after you submit corrections, there's typically another 3-5 day processing period before the schools receive the updated information. Since you mentioned Jake and Tyler are at different schools, I'd recommend following up with both financial aid offices early next week to confirm they received the corrected data. This is especially important if either school has priority deadlines approaching for institutional aid.

Did u have to redo all the tax info when making corrections or just the boys' personal stuff?? When I had to fix mine it made me reenter EVERYTHING and it took like 2 hours ugh

•Luckily I didn't have to redo the tax information! The system kept all our parental income data intact. I just had to correct the personal information and academic details for each son. Took about 30 minutes total.
