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!

I've had Chime for three tax seasons now, and I swear they have a sense of humor about when they release tax refunds 😂 Last year my DDD was a Tuesday, and the money showed up at like 9:30pm Wednesday night just when I'd given up checking! The IRS releases the funds on the DDD, then there's ACH processing time, then Chime has to do their thing. Give it until tomorrow night before you really start worrying. At least you're not waiting for a paper check - those can take WEEKS after the mail date!
Just got my refund today with a 2/26 DDD! It hit my Chime account at 3:42pm EST. I was in the same situation - called the IRS after getting locked out of WMR. The IRS representative confirmed my DDD and explained that the Treasury Department (different from the IRS) handles the actual fund disbursement. The ACH transfer protocol typically takes 24-36 hours from the DDD to complete processing. Keep an eye on your Chime notifications!

I've been using TurboTax for 15 years now, and I learned the hard way about having fees taken from the refund. Last year I filed on February 20th and chose fees from refund. My neighbors filed the same day but paid upfront. They got their refund on March 2nd, while mine took until March 10th! This year I bit the bullet and paid the $89 upfront with my credit card. Got my refund in 11 days flat. The community wisdom here is pretty clear - if you need your refund ASAP, never choose the fees-from-refund option.
My sister filed on 2/26, one day after you, with TurboTax and fees taken from refund. She just got her deposit yesterday. So... you might want to check your bank account or the TurboTax refund tracker soon. The temporary bank accounts they use seem to process in batches, not strictly in the order received from the IRS.

Have you checked if your refund might be subject to an offset? Like a ship getting diverted before reaching port, sometimes refunds get intercepted for past-due debts before they ever reach SBTPG. Did you get any CP14 notices recently? Or could there be any student loans or state taxes that might grab your refund before it lands in your account?
Varo customer here. SBTPG updates are delayed by 24-48 hours sometimes. They batch process during tax season. Your DDD is just when IRS releases funds. Add 1-2 business days for SBTPG processing. Varo usually deposits within hours of receiving funds. Don't panic until 2 business days after your DDD passes. Check your Varo pending transactions too - sometimes it shows there first.
I think you're right about the delays in updating. It seems like, from what I've gathered, the SBTPG system might not be showing real-time information, especially during the busiest parts of tax season when they're processing millions of returns. Would you say it's worth calling Varo directly to ask if they see any pending deposits that might not be visible in the app yet?

This is much faster than what I experienced last tax season. My SBTPG funding took 5 business days to reach my bank account, compared to the 1-3 days you're likely looking at with Cash App. It's like comparing a local delivery service to cross-country shipping - Cash App tends to process these deposits more efficiently than traditional banks. If your funding date is 2/24 and today is Monday, you're almost certainly going to see it by Wednesday at the latest. The tracking number is your golden ticket - it means the money is definitely on its way.
Just to clarify something I've seen cause confusion: SBTPG's "funded" status means they've sent the money, not that they're holding it. If you paid for tax preparation through your refund, they've already deducted those fees before sending to Cash App. The tracking number is essentially a confirmation that the ACH transfer has been initiated. When I worked in banking, we typically saw these types of transfers complete in 24-48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

Banking systems are like those old plumbing systems - the water is in the pipes but hasn't reached your faucet yet! Your money is definitely on its way, just stuck in the weekend banking traffic jam. I'd suggest calling Netspend's customer service line directly. Sometimes they can manually release pending deposits if you explain your situation. I've had them do this before when I needed funds urgently. Worth a shot rather than waiting until Monday, especially with your visa situation.

•I had a similar experience with Netspend last year. My timeline was: • Saw "funded" status on Friday afternoon • Called customer service that evening • Representative confirmed it was in their system • Funds were available Saturday morning at 8am Definitely worth calling them directly!

•Haha, I love the plumbing analogy! So true! I was shocked when I learned banks actually don't process most transactions in real-time. My refund showed as "pending" for THREE DAYS with Netspend last year even though the IRS had already sent it. Felt like I was waiting for a check to arrive via horse and buggy in 2024! 🐎📬

Have you tried checking your Netspend account through their website instead of the app? Sometimes the website updates before the app does. I had a similar situation last month where my tax refund showed as funded on Friday but with a previous date. I kept checking obsessively and it actually appeared Saturday morning around 10am! Did you set up text alerts with Netspend? That's how I knew mine had arrived before I even checked the app. Fingers crossed you get yours before Monday!
