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!

Have you tried checking your application status online? Sometimes there are error codes or messages that can give you a clue about what's going wrong.

•I did check online, but everything looks normal on my end. That's what's so confusing about this whole thing!
Hmm, that is weird. Might be worth trying to submit a correction just to see if it kickstarts something in their system?

Not to freak you out, but make sure this isn't some kind of scam or identity theft situation. Double check that you're using the official FAFSA website (should end in .gov) and maybe run a credit check just to be safe.
Sofia Perez
•Oh geez, I hadn't even thought of that 😰 I'm pretty sure I used the right site, but I'll definitely double check. Thanks for the heads up!

Pro tip: Tweet at their official account. Sometimes they respond faster there than through official channels.
This is why we need comprehensive education reform. The whole system is a joke.

•Sir, this is a Wendy's
Very funny. But seriously, we're all just trying to get an education here. The hoops we have to jump through are ridiculous.

@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.
