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 wanna say I had 6 different FAFSA problems this year with my twins applications lol. The new system is so buggy! We got there eventually tho, hang in there
Thanks for the encouragement! It's comforting to know we're not alone in this confusion.
UPDATE: Finally got through to FSA today (used that Claimyr service someone mentioned - worked great!) and they confirmed everything IS actually complete! The agent explained they've had issues with their email notification system not syncing properly with the processing system. She said as long as we can see the SAI number, we're good to go. Thanks everyone for your help!
Great news! This is exactly what many schools have been telling students. Make sure to keep an eye on your daughter's school portal for any school-specific requirements, as those are separate from the FAFSA process.
I'm glad you checked anyway! Better safe than sorry with something this important!

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.

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.

@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.

Update to my earlier comment - I forgot to mention that after you complete your portion as a contributor, your son will need to log back into his account and submit the final application. Many families miss this step and think the application is complete after the parent finishes their part, but it's not!

•Thank you for this crucial information! So after I complete my section, I need to tell him to log back in and do a final submission? Why don't they make this clearer in their instructions? 🤦♀️

To answer your question about processing time: once all contributors have completed their sections and the student submits the final application, the initial SAI (Student Aid Index) calculation typically takes 3-5 business days. However, during peak periods (January-March), it can take up to 2 weeks. For state grant deadlines, most states consider the application "submitted" once the final submission is complete, even if the federal processing is still ongoing.

•Thank you! That's reassuring about the state grant deadline. We should still be able to make it if we get everything completed this week. I appreciate all the helpful information everyone has provided!
