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 β 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... may have had a similar situation last year. My transcript didn't appear until 12 days after filing. I thought I had plenty of time for my financial aid verification. I didn't. The school wouldn't extend their deadline. I ended up having to take an extra loan for that semester. Maybe consider asking your school's financial aid office if they have any alternatives if the transcript doesn't arrive in time? Some schools have temporary verification options.
Wait, I'm somewhat surprised that schools are this rigid about deadlines. Wouldn't they possibly accept some sort of documentation showing that you've filed and are waiting for official transcripts? Or perhaps an IRS confirmation number of some kind? It seems there should be some flexibility in the system, especially for military families.
Filed on March 2nd last year for my son's college verification. Transcript didn't appear until March 14th. School's deadline was March 15th. Most stressful two weeks ever. If you filed last week (around March 15th?) and need it by March 31st, you're cutting it extremely close. Tax season is at peak volume right now, which can slow everything down. Don't wait - call the IRS transcript request line (800-908-9946) on Monday morning at exactly 7:00am Eastern to beat the queue.

Ugh, the IRS transcript system is so frustrating rn. There's no guaranteed schedule - they say it's weekly but it's more random tbh. If u just filed last week, you're prob not gonna have access by EOM. Your best bet is to talk to the fin aid office ASAP and see if they'll accept proof of filing instead. Most schools have a process for this exact situation bc the IRS timeline never matches up w/ their deadlines.

The IRS updates transcripts exactly once per week, typically on Friday mornings around 6:00 AM Eastern Time. However, your return must complete initial processing before appearing in the transcript system. For returns filed in March 2024, the current average processing time is 17.3 days for e-filed returns and 29.6 days for paper returns. Given your late March deadline, you have approximately a 62% chance of having your transcript available in time if you e-filed, and virtually no chance if you paper filed.

I waited patiently after verifying online and got my DDD exactly 11 days later! According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.6, verification processing should be completed within 14 days of receipt. I'm concerned that many taxpayers don't realize verification resets your 21-day processing timeline. The good news is that Texas returns typically process faster than the national average once verification is complete.
My timeline was almost identical to yours. Form sent on 02/15/2025, received 02/27/2025, verified online 02/28/2025. I'm also in Texas (Houston area). My transcript updated exactly 8 days after verification with a 570 code, then 3 days later changed to 571 with an 846 DDD for the following Wednesday. So it was precisely 11 days from verification to DDD, with the money hitting my account 2 days after the DDD date.

Illinois refund timing depends on several factors: β’ Electronic filing: 2-4 weeks average β’ Paper filing: 8-12 weeks (avoid if possible) β’ Complex returns: Add 1-2 weeks β’ Returns with credits: Add 3-5 days β’ Returns with errors: Significant delays The IL DoR publishes their processing schedule on their website. They're currently on track with their projected timelines. Most people I know who filed in March are seeing deposits this week and next. Hope this helps!

I was in exactly your situation last month! Here's what worked for me step-by-step: 1. First, I checked my return status using the IL Where's My Refund tool 2. When it showed "processing" for 3 weeks, I called the IL DoR 3. The agent confirmed my return was approved but waiting in the deposit queue 4. My refund appeared exactly 2 days later The timing seems to be much better now than earlier in the season. My colleague just got his IL refund in 12 days from submission to deposit! I think they've worked through their backlog finally.

Been thru this process twice (last yr and this yr). Here's what happens: 1. After in-person verif, takes 7-14 biz days for IDV dept to process 2. Once processed, your return goes BACK into normal processing queue 3. WMR won't update until AFTER transcript shows codes 4. Look for TC 971 (verification complete) then TC 570 (hold lifted) then TC 846 (refund issued) FYI - if you had EIC or CTC, add another week bc of PATH Act. Also, current processing is backed up by about 10 days according to my tax guy.

Verified in person on February 23rd this year. It's like throwing your tax return into a black hole and waiting for it to emerge on the other side. I sat in the waiting room for 2 hours, then the actual verification took 6 minutes. My transcript updated on March 8th (so exactly 2 weeks), then I received my refund on March 15th. The IRS agent told me they're prioritizing in-person verifications over online ones because they're more secure - like choosing express shipping over standard delivery.

β’The black hole analogy is perfect... I feel like I'm just staring into space waiting for something to happen. I'm glad to hear in-person verifications are processed faster though. That makes me feel a bit better about taking time off work to go to the office.
