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!

Have you tried calling the IRS? Sometimes worth it. Ask for a taxpayer advocate. They can help. Don't wait too long. Paper trail is important. Keep records of all calls.
The IRS processing system is like a massive pipeline with various checkpoints. Your return is probably stuck at one of those checkpoints waiting for verification. Think of it like airport security - most people go through quickly, but some get randomly selected for additional screening. The difference is that at the airport, you know you're being screened, while with the IRS, you're just left wondering what's happening. Based on community reports, about 20-25% of filers are experiencing longer than normal processing times this year.
That airport security analogy is spot on! Except at the airport they at least tell you why they're checking your bags. With the IRS, you're just left wondering if something's wrong or if your return fell behind a filing cabinet somewhere.

According to the IRS.gov technical support pages (https://www.irs.gov/help/ita), the Where's My Refund tool typically updates once every 24 hours, usually overnight. However, the actual refund disbursement system operates independently. Many taxpayers don't realize that receiving your refund while the status remains unchanged is completely normal. Stay calm and enjoy your refund - the status will eventually catch up within 5-7 business days.

My brother had this happen back in 2022 and ignored it since the money arrived. Then six months later he got a CP14 notice saying he owed additional taxes plus interest! Turns out the refund was correct but the IRS hadn't properly closed out his return in their system. If your WMR doesn't update within a week after getting your refund, I'd recommend keeping documentation of everything just in case. Better safe than sorry based on our family's experience.

Did you claim any credits like Earned Income Credit or Child Tax Credit? Those automatically take longer to process because of extra verification steps. Also, the 21-day timeframe is just a guideline, not a guarantee. The IRS is still dealing with staffing shortages and outdated systems, so many returns are taking 30+ days even without any issues.

I was in this exact situation last month and got stuck in an endless loop of calling the IRS. Spent 3 days trying to get through with no luck. Finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. The agent was able to see that my return was just in the normal processing queue but was able to expedite it since I was experiencing financial hardship. Got my refund a week later. Definitely worth it if you need to actually speak to someone at the IRS without the endless redial game.
Isaiah Cross
ā¢Wait, they can expedite refunds if you're having financial hardship? I didn't know that was an option. How exactly does this Claimyr service work? I've been trying to get through to the IRS for days.
Joy Olmedo
ā¢Yes, in some cases they can expedite if you're facing eviction, utility shutoff, or other serious financial issues. Claimyr basically navigates the IRS phone system for you and holds your place in line. When they reach an agent, they call you to connect. Saved me literally days of frustration. The IRS phone system is absolutely brutal this time of year.

If you need a definitive answer about your specific timeline, here's what worked for me: 1. First, check your transcript daily for updates 2. If no movement after 5 business days, you need to speak with an IRS agent 3. Don't waste time with the regular IRS number - I spent 3 hours on hold before being disconnected 4. Use Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) to get connected to an agent without the wait 5. Ask specifically about your verification status and if there are any other holds This approach got me clear answers instead of wondering. The agent confirmed my verification was complete but flagged for one more review that would take 7-10 more days.

I completed my ID verification process on a Wednesday as well (last month). My Return Processing Status changed to "approved" exactly 6 calendar days later, and the Direct Deposit was initiated 2 days after that. The IRS utilizes a batch processing system that typically updates overnight, so many taxpayers observe changes to their account status in the early morning hours.

Be careful with H&R Block status updates. Mine showed "approved" for weeks. Called IRS eventually. Had an error code. Needed to verify identity. Lost three weeks because I trusted the H&R Block tracker. Always check directly with IRS.

Could be simple verification or could be something that needs your action!
