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!

WHY are parents like this?!?! My dad was the same way. FAFSA deadline was LITERALLY the next day and he still hadn't done his part. I had to threaten to make him pay the difference in whatever aid I lost before he finally logged in. Parents have NO IDEA how expensive college actually is or how much these deadlines matter for OUR FUTURE.
RIGHT?! And then they complain about how expensive college is while missing deadlines that could save thousands! Make it make sense!!
UPDATE: I finally got through to my dad! I showed him exactly what he needed to do, made an estimate of how much aid I might lose (about $6000 based on last year's institutional grants), and set up a calendar invite with all his login info included. He completed it last night! Thank you all for your advice - especially about not sending another invitation since that could have reset everything. The application now shows "processing" status. So relieved!
Joy Olmedo
•Great news! The "processing" status means everything is submitted correctly. You should receive your Student Aid Index (SAI) calculation within 3-5 days. Make sure to log into your school's financial aid portal once you receive that to ensure they've received your FAFSA information.

BTW make sure you check EVERYTHING else on the old form too while you're at it. If there's one mistake there could be others! Take it from someone who had to redo their entire verification process because of dumb little errors 😫
AstroAce
•That's good advice. I'll do a full review of everything when I go in to make the correction. Thanks!
Jamal Brown
For anyone else reading this thread with similar issues - here's a quick checklist for handling demographic corrections on prior year FAFSAs: 1. Submit the correction through studentaid.gov ASAP 2. Notify your school's financial aid office in writing 3. Provide supporting documentation if requested 4. Check if verification is needed (usually only if your SAI changes) 5. Review current year application for accuracy before submitting Most biographical corrections don't impact your aid eligibility, but they're important for proper record-keeping in the federal system.
AstroAce
•This is super helpful! I just submitted the correction and sent an email to our financial aid office with a copy of his ID attached. They replied quickly and said it shouldn't affect our current aid at all, just as you suggested. Thank you so much for the guidance!

why dont u just try signing with ur daughters fsa id if she has the password? my mom did that when we had same problem lol
Please DO NOT do this. Using someone else's FSA ID is considered fraud and could result in the entire application being rejected or flagged for verification, which would delay processing even further.

UPDATE: IT'S FIXED! Wanted to share what worked for anyone else facing this issue. These steps did the trick: 1. I used Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome (thanks for that tip!) 2. Checked my FSA ID info and found my address was incorrect as someone suggested 3. Updated my address in my FSA ID account 4. Completely logged out of everything 5. Cleared all browser data 6. Logged back in to my parent account 7. Found a notification in the "My FAFSA" section (not under corrections) 8. Clicked that notification which took me to a working signature page The signature button is now showing my signature as complete! My daughter's application now shows fully processed with her SAI score calculated. Thanks everyone for your help!
CyberSiren
•so glad you got it fixed!!!! the whole system is a nightmare this year
Thank you for sharing your solution! This will help others facing the same issue. Make sure your daughter checks with her schools to confirm they've received the processed FAFSA data.

Has anyone actually received their aid package yet? We submitted in January, got our SAI score three weeks ago, but still no actual aid package from any of the schools. My son's decision deadline is May 1st and we're completely in the dark!

•We're in the exact same position! SAI score arrived two weeks ago but not a single school has sent their aid package yet. May 1st is coming up fast and we have no idea what to do. This whole process is completely broken this year.

•I'm sorry that happened to you. It's ridiculous how many students are having their futures affected by this administrative disaster. Are you at least happy with the state school now that you're there?
