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!

Anyone else find it hilarious that we're all obsessively checking our bank accounts for money we didn't even know we were owed? 😂 I was in the same situation last week - waiting for my unemployment adjustment with zero updates. I tried calling the IRS (LOL) and spent 2.5 hours on hold before getting disconnected. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got through to an actual human at the IRS in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my adjustment was approved but stuck in the final verification queue. Money showed up 2 days later! Worth the $25 fee to avoid the hold music torture.
Let me clear up some confusion I'm seeing in this thread: • This is NOT like the 2020 COVID unemployment exclusion • This is about a correction to how unemployment was calculated for 2023 • TurboTax identified a calculation error affecting certain filers • Not everyone who received unemployment is affected • Only those who meet specific criteria received emails • Processing time varies based on complexity and filing date I received my adjustment last week after waiting 24 days from the initial email. Patience is key here - the system is working, just slowly.

I had this happen in 2022 and again last year. Both times my transcript showed nothing for about 10 weeks, then suddenly updated all at once. When I finally got my refund, it included interest because it took so long! Check if you have any credits like EITC or CTC - those trigger automatic longer reviews. I remember being concerned just like you are now.

I filed on January 29th, 2024 and was stuck in the error department until April 4th, 2024 - exactly 9 weeks and 2 days. Called on March 15th and was told to wait the full 10 weeks. Called again on April 1st and was told it was being worked on. Received my deposit on April 8th. If you don't see movement by April 13th (which will be your 10 weeks), call immediately on April 15th to request they expedite. The fiscal quarter just ended and they're clearing backlogs now!
I had a similar timeline last year. Filed early February, stuck until mid-April, then suddenly processed in 3 days. No explanation.
Thanks for sharing your timeline! It helps to see real examples with actual dates. Gives me hope mine will resolve soon too.
Based on what I've seen in this community over the past few years, this "no errors but in error department" situation happens to thousands of gig workers each filing season. It's essentially a random selection for additional verification. I've tracked patterns in the community and noticed most people receive their refunds between weeks 8-10, with a small percentage going longer. The best approach is to: 1) Check your transcript weekly, not daily, 2) Call only after your 10 weeks are up, and 3) Remember that nearly everyone eventually gets their refund with no changes. The IRS is just overwhelmed and understaffed.

I spent THREE DAYS trying to get through to the IRS to ask this exact question last month. Kept getting disconnected or waiting for hours. Finally used Claimyr.com to get through and an agent confirmed that the current stimulus payment is protected from offset for child support. Saved me so much time and frustration! Here's their link: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
Did they charge you a lot for that service? I've been trying to reach the IRS for weeks about a different issue.

According to the TurboTax support forums, you can check the status of your refund after the IRS sends it by going to https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/ - this is the bank TurboTax uses as a middleman when you choose to have fees taken from your refund. I've seen several posts on r/tax confirming this adds 3-7 days to the process. The WMR tool only shows when the IRS sent it, not when you'll actually receive it.

Finally got my refund after dealing w/ this exact same issue! WMR said sent on 3/14, didn't hit my acct until 3/22. Turns out TT uses SBTPG bank and they were holding it. Called them directly (took forever to find the right #) and magically my $ appeared next day. Next yr def paying fees upfront instead of from refund. Such a hassle but at least got my cash eventually!
