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!

Just checking back - any luck with the invitation? If you're still having trouble, remember that while waiting, you can still be proactive by gathering the documents you'll need for the parent portion: 2023 tax returns, W-2s, and records of any untaxed income. That way you'll be ready to complete it quickly once the invitation arrives.
Update: Success! My daughter deleted me as a contributor and re-added me with a different email address, and the invitation came through almost immediately. Now I'm working on completing my portion. Thanks everyone for all your helpful suggestions!

my cousin waited 2 days after processed and my other friend waited like 3 weeks so who knows lol. the whole things broken this year
UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at FSA! Turns out there was a verification flag on my application that wasn't showing up anywhere on the portal. I had to submit my parents' 2023 tax transcript and W-2s. The agent said once those are reviewed, my SAI should be generated within 3-5 business days. Just wanted to update in case anyone else is having similar issues. Always call and check if you're not seeing your SAI within a week of the "processed" status!
Thanks for the update! This is unfortunately a common issue with the new system - verification flags that don't show up on the student portal. For anyone else reading this thread: about 30% of all FAFSA applications get selected for verification, and many students don't realize they've been selected because the notification system isn't working properly. Always worth calling if you don't see your SAI within 7-10 days of the "processed" status.
This is exactly why I suggested asking about c-codes. A verification flag is one type of c-code. Glad you got it sorted out!

File them as separate complaints to make sure each issue gets proper attention. And one more suggestion - the PSLF Waiver that ended in October 2022 had provisions that might have helped your situation, but there's a lesser-known program called the IDR Account Adjustment that's still ongoing. This adjustment is reviewing accounts and may retroactively count some periods of forbearance/deferment toward forgiveness. \n\nThe deadline for consolidation to benefit from this has been extended to April 30, 2024, and you don't need to take any action if your loans are already Direct Loans. This could potentially help with some of your time in default as well.\n\nYou can read more about it here: https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/idr-account-adjustment

So glad you got it figured out! This exact type of formatting "error" happens constantly. It's frustrating they can't build a better system that accounts for these minor differences. At least you caught it early before scholarship deadlines!

•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.
