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 ā 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!

I should note that there are specific procedures when a check doesn't arrive. If it's been less than 14 business days since the mail date, the IRS won't consider it missing yet. Between 14-28 business days, they can place a trace on it. After 28 business days, they'll officially declare it lost and reissue. However, if you initiate a trace too early, it can actually delay things further as they'll make you wait until the full waiting period has elapsed before taking action.
I had to do a trace last year and it was surprisingly smooth. Called on day 15, they started the trace, and by day 21 they confirmed it was lost and reissued. New check came about 10 days after that. Much better experience than I expected from the IRS!
Ava Martinez
ā¢My experience was the total opposite. Did a trace last year and they kept telling me to wait longer. Ended up taking almost 3 months to get my reissued check. Definitely request direct deposit if you can next time!

Same situation here! May 15th mail date and still nothing in my mailbox as of today. I'm in Texas and starting to wonder if there's some regional delay happening. The waiting is definitely stressful, especially when you're counting on that money for bills. I've been using the USPS Informed Delivery that someone mentioned earlier, but still no preview of the check coming. At least it's good to know I'm not the only one - makes me feel a bit better that this seems to be a widespread issue with the May 15th batch rather than just my check getting lost somewhere.
I'm also in Texas and waiting on my May 15th mail date! It's reassuring to know this seems to be affecting a lot of people with the same mail date. I've been checking my mailbox religiously too. From what I've read in the other comments, it sounds like the May 15th batch is just running slower than usual. Hopefully we'll both see our checks this week! The USPS Informed Delivery is a great idea - at least then we'll get a heads up the day before it arrives.

Tami Morgan
ā¢ty for the update! at least we know whats going on now

I'm in the same situation with a 2/14 state refund date! Still waiting but feeling a bit better after reading that there's a system-wide delay. Has anyone tried checking their state's "Where's My Refund" portal to see if there's any updated status info?

I'm in the same situation! Filed early and got the 2/14 date too. Been refreshing my banking app every hour like it's going to magically appear lol. Reading through these comments is actually really helpful - didn't realize Valentine's Day being a holiday could affect processing times. Guess I'll try to be patient for a few more days before I start panicking!

Andre Dupont
ā¢fr fr the postal service been lacking
Lily Young
Same here! Mail date 9/9 and still waiting in Ohio. Called my local post office and they said to give it another week since there have been delivery delays in my area. Really frustrating but trying to stay patient. At least we're not alone in this!

Just a warning to anyone thinking about reporting someone - make absolutely sure you're right before doing it. My neighbor reported my small business because I have a lot of clients coming to my home office and she assumed I wasn't reporting the income. IRS did contact me and I had to provide documentation, but thankfully I keep meticulous records. The audit was still super stressful even though I hadn't done anything wrong. When it was all over, the IRS agent actually told me they get a lot of "neighborhood dispute" reports that turn out to be nothing. I'm pretty sure my neighbor was just mad about the extra cars parking on our street.

ā¢That's messed up! Did you ever confront your neighbor about it? I'd be so tempted to let them know that I knew what they did.

ā¢I never directly confronted her, but the IRS agent told me they don't reveal who made the report, so I couldn't be 100% certain anyway. I did make a point of mentioning very loudly during our next neighborhood BBQ that I'd recently passed an IRS audit with flying colors and how the agent mentioned they get lots of false reports from nosy neighbors. The look on her face told me everything I needed to know. Honestly, it wasn't worth escalating the conflict. I just installed better parking guidance for my clients and focused on keeping my business growing. Living well is the best revenge!

This is really helpful info, everyone! I'm in a similar situation where I suspect a contractor has been underreporting income. From what I'm reading here, it sounds like the key is having solid documentation rather than just suspicions. A few follow-up questions for those who've been through this: 1. What kind of evidence is most compelling to the IRS? Bank records, receipts, witness statements? 2. Is there any risk of retaliation if the person figures out who reported them? I know the IRS doesn't reveal the reporter's identity, but in small communities it might be obvious. 3. For those who mentioned the reward programs - is it worth going through the Whistleblower Office (Form 211) even for smaller cases, or should I stick with the basic fraud reporting (Form 3949-A)? I'm leaning toward reporting because it's clearly a pattern of behavior, not just a one-time mistake. But I want to make sure I do it right and have realistic expectations about what might happen next.

ā¢Great questions! As someone new to this community but who's been researching tax fraud reporting, I can share what I've learned: 1. The IRS seems to prioritize cases with financial documentation - bank statements showing unreported deposits, copies of cash payments, invoices that don't match reported income, etc. Text messages or emails where someone admits to hiding income (like in Brianna's case) are apparently gold. Witness statements help but need to be backed up with concrete evidence. 2. On retaliation risk - this is real in small communities. Even though the IRS keeps reporters anonymous, if you're one of only a few people who would know about someone's tax situation, they might figure it out. Consider whether you have any ongoing business or personal relationships that could be affected. 3. From what others have shared here, Form 211 (Whistleblower) seems worth it even for smaller cases since you might still get up to 15% of collected amounts. The extra paperwork might be worth the potential reward, especially if you're confident in your evidence. Just make sure you're reporting actual tax evasion, not just someone running a cash-heavy business (like Camila's situation). The difference matters a lot!
