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!

You need to act NOW rather than waiting for that notice! This is much more urgent than people realize. Compared to other verification issues, ID verification can delay your refund by 9-12 weeks if not addressed immediately. I've seen cases where people waited for the letter and ended up with their returns being suspended entirely, requiring them to refile. At minimum, you should try to get through to the dedicated Identity Verification line at 800-830-5084 rather than the general IRS number. If you can verify now, you might get your refund in 2-3 weeks, whereas waiting could push it into July or August.

ā¢I agree with this 100%. I waited for my letter last year after my divorce and it took FOREVER to get my refund. This year I was proactive and called as soon as I saw my WMR wasn't updating. Got verified much faster. Don't wait for them to contact you!
Ruby Blake
SUCCESS UPDATE! After reading all your advice, I finally got through and completed my verification! Here's what worked: ā¢ Called the specific ID Verify number (800-830-5084) not the general line ā¢ Called at 7:02am exactly when they opened ā¢ Had ALL my documents ready: last 2 tax returns, W2, divorce papers, SSN card ā¢ Asked specifically for ID verification specialist ā¢ Stayed super polite even when frustrated The agent confirmed my identity and said my refund should process within 9 business days! Such a relief after 3 months of stress. Thanks everyone for your help!

Did you claim any other credits besides EITC? I'm wondering if having multiple credits changes how the PATH Act message appears.
Lily Young
ā¢I believe it might, actually. I claimed both EITC and Additional Child Tax Credit last year, and I received a somewhat different PATH message than what was typically described online. It seems the system may generate different notifications depending on your specific combination of credits, though the IRS doesn't officially confirm this.
I work at a tax preparation office, and I've noticed this pattern with early filers this year. About 30% of our clients who filed before January 20th with EITC didn't get the PATH message but still had the expected delay. One interesting case: a client filed January 17th with identical circumstances to someone who filed January 25th. The later filer got the PATH message, the earlier one didn't, but they received their refunds on the exact same day in February. The messaging system seems inconsistent, but the actual processing follows the same timeline regardless.

I filed on February 3rd this year and got the identity verification request on February 12th while my transcript still showed N/A. After completing verification on February 13th, my transcript updated on February 22nd, and I received my refund on February 26th. The key dates to watch for are the 'As of' date on your account transcript and the cycle code once it appears. Those will tell you exactly when your weekly processing occurs.
Liam Cortez
You know what they say - the IRS works in mysterious ways! š But seriously, don't stress about this. The verification is actually a good sign that your return is moving through the system. If they weren't processing it at all, they wouldn't bother with verification. The transcript updates and WMR status often lag behind what's actually happening with your return. Just complete the verification and be patient for about 2 weeks - the updates will start flowing after that.

I used Claimyr on February 15th after trying to call the IRS for two solid weeks without success. It cost me $24.99 but saved me literally hours of frustration. The agent confirmed my amended return was in the system despite nothing showing on my transcript until March 23rd. Sometimes paying a small fee to save hours of your life is completely worth it.
According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.3.4.6.1, amended returns require manual processing by IRS employees, which significantly extends processing timeframes. Per the current IRS operations page, amended returns filed in 2024 are experiencing delays of 20+ weeks rather than the standard 16 weeks outlined in Publication 556. Transcript visibility typically occurs after initial intake processing, approximately 3-4 weeks after acceptance.
Ella Knight
I had this exact issue last year. Here's what happened in my case: 1. E-filed on January 28 2. Got acceptance confirmation same day 3. WMR showed "return not received" for 3 weeks 4. Called IRS after 21 days 5. They confirmed it was in processing despite what WMR showed 6. Refund appeared in my account 10 days later without WMR ever updating Sometimes their systems just don't sync up properly.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS SITUATION: ā¢ If you claimed certain credits (EIC, ACTC), your refund is automatically held until mid-February ā¢ If your return contains any "review codes" it gets routed to manual review ā¢ If your AGI changed significantly from last year, it can trigger verification ā¢ If you had marketplace insurance, reconciliation can delay processing I've seen returns get stuck in limbo for 8+ weeks with the same symptoms you're describing. Document everything and if it goes beyond 21 days, that's when you can officially start inquiring about the status.
