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!

Hey so i had a sorta similar question - do we have to like tell the schools somehow that we did the FAFSA? Or do they automatically get notified? My FAFSA was submitted 5 weeks ago but none of my schools have sent me anything about financial aid yet.
The schools you listed on your FAFSA should automatically receive your information once it's processed. However, if it's been 5 weeks and your FAFSA shows as processed on studentaid.gov but you haven't heard from schools, you should: 1. Verify that your FAFSA shows "Processed" not "Processing" 2. Confirm all schools were correctly listed with proper school codes 3. Contact each school's financial aid office directly to check if they received your FAFSA Some schools won't send award letters until you're admitted, so that could also explain the delay.
when my brother applied he forgot to hit submit after filling everything out and thought he was done lol. double check u actually submitted it all the way!!!

•Lol I definitely submitted it! I can see my SAI score now on the website. Just waiting for schools to send their actual aid offers. Fingers crossed they come soon!

Update: My form finally reappeared after exactly 3 days. No explanation, no notification, it just showed up again with a yellow alert about the missing signature. The whole system is completely unpredictable.

•Thank you for sharing! That gives me hope. I'm on day 2 of waiting.

UPDATE: The form reappeared this morning (about 40 hours after disappearing). There was a section at the bottom where my husband needed to re-sign with his FSA ID. After completing that step, we immediately got a confirmation email saying the FAFSA is now complete. What a stressful experience! Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance.
Great to hear! Glad it worked out without having to call anyone. This year's FAFSA is definitely testing everyone's patience.

is your kid an independent or dependent student? i think the rules might be different
TechNinja
•She's a dependent - still in high school, applying for her freshman year of college.
Yara Assad
•The rules for corrections are the same for dependent and independent students. The distinction only affects which financial information needs to be reported in the first place.
In the 2025-2026 FAFSA, they've actually improved this process. The new system more clearly separates signature fixes from substantive corrections. When you go in to add the missing signature, you'll see it doesn't even let you access the financial sections unless you specifically choose to make other corrections. Just follow the prompts for signature only.

Just to add a bit more context - that negative SAI is definitely favorable for aid eligibility. The more negative the SAI, the more need-based aid a student typically qualifies for. Since your niece has an SAI of -1500, she'll likely qualify for the maximum Pell Grant (around $7,395 for the 2025-2026 year) plus potentially significant institutional aid depending on the schools. Once the official packages come out after March 15th, make sure she compares them carefully. Sometimes schools with higher sticker prices actually end up being more affordable after all aid is applied. And don't hesitate to contact financial aid offices if she has questions about her packages - that's what we're here for!
This is incredibly helpful information! I didn't realize the direct correlation between negative SAI and Pell Grant eligibility. We'll definitely help her compare packages carefully when they come in. Thanks for taking the time to explain this!

One more thing - tell your niece to check her state's grant deadline!! Many states have FAFSA deadlines in February or early March for state grants, which can be thousands of dollars. If she misses those deadlines she could lose out on free money even with that awesome SAI score.
Thank you for this reminder! I'll check our state's deadline right away. I hadn't even thought about state grants being a separate process.

Another tip - after you submit, SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING!! I learned this the hard way when FSA claimed they never received documentation I uploaded. Had no proof and had to resubmit which cost me another 2 weeks.

•Great advice! I'll definitely do that. Do they send a confirmation email with submission details that would help too?

•They send a confirmation but it doesn't include all the details you entered. Screenshot the confirmation page that shows up right after submission - it has the detailed summary of everything.

If your FAFSA does get flagged because of errors, don't panic! I had mine flagged for verification last year (apparently my dad's SSN was entered incorrectly). I submitted the correction online, then contacted my school's financial aid office directly. They were able to push my application through their system once the correction was processed. The key is being proactive and not just waiting for automated emails.
