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 u checked if theres any errors on ur original tax return? sometimes small mistakes can hold things up for ages
I haven't, but that's a good point. I'll go over everything again with a fine-tooth comb. Thanks!

Filing taxes might still be beneficial for you even if you receive SSI and are experiencing homelessness. If you had any income besides SSI during the year (like part-time work), you might qualify for refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, which could result in a refund. SSI benefits themselves aren't taxable income, so you're not required to file if SSI was your only income. However, filing could still be worthwhile if you had any tax withheld from other income sources. As someone experiencing homelessness in Pinellas County, you can get free tax preparation help through VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) programs. The St. Petersburg Free Clinic and other local organizations offer these services. You don't need a permanent address to file - you can use a shelter address, general delivery at the post office, or even a trusted friend's address. Filing might connect you with benefits you didn't know you qualified for, so it's generally worth checking into, especially when free help is available.

Hey OP, don't forget to ask about the different types of payment plans. There's a short-term one if you can pay within 180 days, and it has lower fees.
Oh, I didn't know about that! Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely ask about it.

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through to the IRS to ask questions, I found this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20 but saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

•Why should we have to pay to talk to the IRS tho? The system is so broken 😤

•I hear ya, it's not ideal. But for me, the time saved was worth the cost. To each their own tho!

Remember, if you're getting a big refund, you're essentially giving the government an interest-free loan. Adjust your withholdings and put that money to work for YOU throughout the year!

Has anyone tried using a tax advocate service? I've heard they can sometimes help navigate these issues.
