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!

yall keep saying evidence but what if the school shut down and their website is gone? i cant find my enrollment papers eithre... am i just screwed?
For closed schools, the Department of Education does have some records they can access internally. You should mention in your application that the school has closed and you have limited documentation as a result. If you have any communications with other students, former employees, or even your own notes from the time of enrollment, include those. You can also check archive.org's Wayback Machine to see if they have archived versions of the school's website with the false claims.
I submitted mine about 8 months ago and just got approved last week! Full discharge of $23K in loans plus a refund of payments I'd already made. Here's a tip nobody told me: if you mention accreditation misrepresentation specifically, it seems to get processed faster based on what I've heard from others in my situation. My school claimed they were "in the process" of getting programmatic accreditation but they had actually been denied twice already when they told me that.
Congratulations! That's really encouraging. I'll definitely include the accreditation issues in my case too. They claimed to be "nationally recognized" but when I tried to transfer, no other schools would accept the credits because they only had national accreditation, not regional.

One final tip: If your son has received better financial aid packages from other schools, you can use those as leverage in your discussions with his top choice. Many schools are willing to match or at least come closer to competing offers, especially if your son is a student they really want.\n\nThis is called a \

did u submit the paper signature page too??? sometimes with non-SSN the electronic signature doesnt work right and they need the paper one even if u did everything else online
Yes, I mailed in the signature page with the paper application about 7 weeks ago. Still nothing! It's like it went into a black hole.
FAFSA IS SUCH A DISASTER THIS YEAR!!! My daughter almost lost her entire aid package because of their stupid system problems. After WEEKS of getting nowhere, I finally contacted our state representative's office and filed a formal complaint. Magically, the FAFSA issues were resolved within 48 HOURS after that. Don't waste any more time with their useless phone support. Either use the Claimyr service someone mentioned, go directly to the financial aid office, or contact your congressional representative's constituent services. This is literally what they're there for!
This is actually good advice. Congressional inquiries for FAFSA issues get routed to a special team at Federal Student Aid that can expedite fixes. Just make sure you have all the specifics about the error code (sounds like 21-C from what the OP mentioned above) and documentation of how long you've been trying to resolve it.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm curious if you tried Claimyr or found another way to get through to FSA?

•Yes! I used Claimyr yesterday and it actually worked! Got connected to an agent after just 9 minutes (versus the hours I spent trying on my own). The agent found that there was indeed an old account created for my husband from when he cosigned a loan for his nephew five years ago! He had completely forgotten about it. They were able to reset everything and we got back into the account. Just submitted the FAFSA last night and already got confirmation that it's processing. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help!
