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!

@collegebound2025 The 2025-2026 FAFSA application period opens October 1, 2024, so you can't apply yet for Fall 2025. However, you can create your FSA ID ahead of time and gather the necessary documents (2023 tax returns, current asset information, etc.). The hope is that many of these system issues will be resolved by the time the next application cycle begins.
UPDATE: Day 5 and my daughter was finally able to sign her FAFSA! The signature option just appeared this morning when she logged in. No email notification or anything. Now it says we need to wait for SAI calculation. Thanks everyone for your help and advice - especially about contacting her schools. They were all very understanding about the delay!
Great news! The SAI calculation should come through within 1-3 days. Make sure she downloads and saves a copy of her completed FAFSA once it's fully processed - you never know when you might need it for reference or if there are any system issues later.

Thank you! I'll definitely prepare all my documents. I was planning to fix my parents' contribution to their retirement accounts and some income from a small business we have. I'll have everything ready to go as soon as the system opens.

Just to clarify an important point - there's a difference between "deleting" and "starting over." You can't delete a submitted FAFSA, but if your application truly hasn't been processed yet (just pending), you CAN start a new application. However, this creates confusion in the system and can delay your aid determination. The proper procedure is to have your husband create his own FSA ID and then log in to sign your existing application. The Department of Education improved this process for the 2025-2026 FAFSA specifically to handle contributor signatures better.
Thank you for clarifying! I'll definitely have my husband create his own account rather than try to start over. I just wasn't sure if the "pending correction" status meant it was too late to add his signature.
Just checking in - were you able to get your husband's FSA ID created and his signature added to your application?
Yes! It worked! We created his FSA ID (took about 15 minutes) and then he was able to log in and add his signature to my existing application. The status changed to "Processing" within 24 hours. Thanks everyone for your help!

Great news! These small data mismatches are extremely common with the new FAFSA system. Glad you got it resolved in time for your daughter's priority deadline.

i had this problem last month and wasted SO MUCH TIME. turns out i was using the wrong tax year info lol. make sure ur using 2023 tax info for the 2025-26 fafsa not 2024 tax stuff. they changed the year they use for the calculation with the new fafsa. if ur trying to use 2024 stuff thats probably why its rejecting it

•I'm definitely using 2023 tax information, so that's not the issue in my case. But that's a good reminder about the change in the tax year for the new FAFSA system. I know a lot of people have been confused by that change!

UPDATE: Problem solved!! It turns out I was supposed to log in with MY OWN FSA ID to enter my parent information, not continue through my son's login. Once I did that, everything worked perfectly. The new FAFSA system has each person (student and parent) log in separately with their own FSA ID to enter their respective information. That wasn't clear to me from the instructions. Thank you all for your help!

•Great to hear you resolved it! This is one of the biggest changes in the new FAFSA system that's causing confusion. For anyone else reading this thread: the 2025-2026 FAFSA requires separate logins for each contributor - students use their FSA ID to enter their information, and parents use their own FSA ID to enter parent information. This is different from previous years where everything could be done through one login session.
