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!

Actually my cousin works for fsa and she said they might push it back til april they are having system wide issues with the contributor stuff and the non ssn parents is just one of many problems. But she said they are prioritizing it because so many immigrants are affected. If u call enough times you might get through to someone who can put a note on ur account.
APRIL?!? That's absolutely ridiculous. Some states have already passed their aid deadlines. They should have NEVER launched this system with so many obvious problems.
Good news! There's an update on the Federal Student Aid website as of yesterday. The parent non-SSN issue should be fixed by March 23rd according to their latest timeline. They're rolling out the update in phases starting tomorrow. I'd recommend checking your FAFSA account daily starting this weekend.
Thank you so much for sharing this update! I'll start checking daily. Really hoping it works this time - I've been stuck for almost a month now.
omg finally! fingers crossed it actually happens this time

did u do the fafsa on phone app or computer? the app is glitchy and sometimes doesnt show all statuses
I did it on my laptop through the website, not the app. But I'll try logging in on a different browser to see if that shows any different information. Thanks for the tip!
One important thing to note - with the new 2025-2026 FAFSA system, the "Processed" status doesn't necessarily mean your SAI has been calculated and sent to schools yet. Because of the system changes, many applications have been marked as "Processed" but are actually still in an internal review queue. I recommend taking three specific actions: 1. Look specifically for your SAI number on your Student Aid Report 2. Check if all your selected schools are listed in the "School Report" section 3. Set a calendar reminder to log in weekly and check for verification requests If after 2 weeks your SAI still isn't showing up, that's when you should contact Federal Student Aid directly for clarification.
That makes sense. I just checked and I can see my schools listed but no SAI number yet, even though it's been "Processed" for 6 days now. I'll wait another week before getting concerned. Thanks for the specific timeline advice!

i just checked mine again after reading this thread and my SAI magically appeared today!!! maybe check yours again?
Just checked and still nothing for me. Fingers crossed it updates soon! When did you originally submit yours?
like 2.5 weeks ago. hang in there!!
UPDATE: My SAI finally showed up this morning! Looks like I just needed to be patient after all. Thanks everyone for the advice and reassurance. For anyone else with this issue - mine took exactly 8 days to process.
Great news! This is pretty consistent with what we're seeing this cycle - most applications are processing in 7-10 days. Now make sure to check with your school's financial aid office about next steps for finalizing your aid package.

Correction processing times vary, but currently expect 7-10 business days for the correction to be fully processed. After that, it can take another 3-5 days for schools to receive the updated information. Given your 3-week deadline, I'd recommend: 1. Check daily for the correction option to appear 2. If it's not available by the end of this week, call FSA directly 3. Send a brief email to each school's financial aid office explaining the situation Most schools understand these issues, especially this year with all the FAFSA changes causing confusion.

•Perfect plan, thank you! I'll start checking for the correction option today and prepare an email for the schools just in case. You've been incredibly helpful and I feel much less anxious about this now.
