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!

Glad it worked! Side note - manually entering tax info instead of using the data transfer tool can sometimes increase your chances of being selected for verification later. If you receive a verification notice, don't panic - just respond promptly with the requested documentation.

PARENT PLUS LOANS ARE A TRAP!!!! Interest rates are over 7.5% and there's a 4.2% origination fee they take right off the top!!!! Try to find LITERALLY ANY OTHER WAY to pay before getting these loans. I'm $96,000 in debt from Parent PLUS and my daughter graduated 3 years ago. I'll be paying until I'm 70 years old.

•same here! wish someone had told me how bad they were before i signed up. no forgiveness either ðŸ˜
Update: I finally got through to financial aid after trying that Claimyr service someone recommended here. The good news is I can still apply for the PLUS loan and there's technically no federal deadline. The bad news is our school has an internal processing deadline of 2 weeks before the end of the term for any aid to be applied to the current semester. They're going to put a temporary hold on the late fees while my application processes. Thanks everyone for your help!

•Great news! Make sure you specify the correct loan period when applying (likely Fall/Spring for the full academic year) and remember you'll need to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) along with the application. The MPN is good for 10 years so you won't need to redo it each year if you need PLUS loans for future years - just the application portion.
So glad you got through! That two-week cushion before end of term is actually pretty generous compared to some schools. Good luck with everything!

UPDATE: Relieved to share that nothing changed with our aid package! I checked again today and everything is still showing as processed with the same SAI. The financial aid office confirmed they haven't received any updates or verification requests. Thanks everyone for the help and information - this forum saved me a lot of stress and unnecessary phone calls!

Update on my earlier comment - I just remembered my roommate had a similar issue and what worked for her was emailing FSA's escalation team directly. The address is: [email protected] Include ALL details: - Full name - Date of birth - FSA ID (username only, not password) - Date verification documents were submitted - Pending school deadlines - Summary of all contact attempts Make the subject line clear: "URGENT: Verification Documents Submitted [date] - School Deadline [date]" This often gets faster attention than calling the general line.

•Thank you SO much for this email address! Will definitely try this approach too. At this point I'm willing to try anything to get this resolved before her school's deadline.

my verification took 2 months last year lol but then they gave me like $3000 more after they fixed my SAI so maybe there's hope?? this whole process sucks

Just to give everyone an update - the Department of Education officially announced today that the 2024-2025 FAFSA will be available starting December 1, 2023. They also noted a few important changes: 1. The form will be available in 11 languages 2. More students will qualify for federal student aid due to the new Student Aid Index calculation 3. Families with multiple students in college will see changes to how their financial need is calculated Mark your calendars for December 1st, and I recommend trying to submit in the first week if possible to avoid technical issues that might come from everyone trying to access the system at once.
