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!

Ugh, the IRS transcript system is so frustrating rn. There's no guaranteed schedule - they say it's weekly but it's more random tbh. If u just filed last week, you're prob not gonna have access by EOM. Your best bet is to talk to the fin aid office ASAP and see if they'll accept proof of filing instead. Most schools have a process for this exact situation bc the IRS timeline never matches up w/ their deadlines.
The IRS updates transcripts exactly once per week, typically on Friday mornings around 6:00 AM Eastern Time. However, your return must complete initial processing before appearing in the transcript system. For returns filed in March 2024, the current average processing time is 17.3 days for e-filed returns and 29.6 days for paper returns. Given your late March deadline, you have approximately a 62% chance of having your transcript available in time if you e-filed, and virtually no chance if you paper filed.

I... may have had a similar situation last year. My transcript didn't appear until 12 days after filing. I thought I had plenty of time for my financial aid verification. I didn't. The school wouldn't extend their deadline. I ended up having to take an extra loan for that semester. Maybe consider asking your school's financial aid office if they have any alternatives if the transcript doesn't arrive in time? Some schools have temporary verification options.
Wait, I'm somewhat surprised that schools are this rigid about deadlines. Wouldn't they possibly accept some sort of documentation showing that you've filed and are waiting for official transcripts? Or perhaps an IRS confirmation number of some kind? It seems there should be some flexibility in the system, especially for military families.
Filed on March 2nd last year for my son's college verification. Transcript didn't appear until March 14th. School's deadline was March 15th. Most stressful two weeks ever. If you filed last week (around March 15th?) and need it by March 31st, you're cutting it extremely close. Tax season is at peak volume right now, which can slow everything down. Don't wait - call the IRS transcript request line (800-908-9946) on Monday morning at exactly 7:00am Eastern to beat the queue.

I waited patiently after verifying online and got my DDD exactly 11 days later! According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.6, verification processing should be completed within 14 days of receipt. I'm concerned that many taxpayers don't realize verification resets your 21-day processing timeline. The good news is that Texas returns typically process faster than the national average once verification is complete.
My timeline was almost identical to yours. Form sent on 02/15/2025, received 02/27/2025, verified online 02/28/2025. I'm also in Texas (Houston area). My transcript updated exactly 8 days after verification with a 570 code, then 3 days later changed to 571 with an 846 DDD for the following Wednesday. So it was precisely 11 days from verification to DDD, with the money hitting my account 2 days after the DDD date.

I had almost the exact same timeline as you - filed January 29th, verified February 16th, and heard absolutely nothing for weeks. I was getting super anxious because I needed the money for my kid's braces. I finally broke down and called the IRS after 6 weeks of waiting. Turns out there was a tiny discrepancy between my W-2 and what my employer reported that triggered a manual review. The agent fixed it while I was on the phone, and I got my refund 8 days later.
Did they explain what specifically triggered the review? Was it an income amount or something else?
This is EXACTLY why calling is so important! Sometimes it's just sitting there waiting for someone to look at it!
Just a word of caution based on what happened to me last year. If you do call and they say they'll "fix it right away" or "release the refund," don't count on immediate results. The agent told me my refund would process within 48 hours, but it still took another 3 weeks. Their internal systems don't move as quickly as they sometimes suggest.

I filed on February 3rd this year and chose to pay my preparation fees upfront. My refund was deposited directly to my account on February 15th. Last year, I filed on January 28th, 2023, and used the refund transfer option. My refund went to SBTPG first, then to my account on February 17th. The technical difference was the Refund Transfer service (Form 8888) which routes your money through the third-party processor. The IRS doesn't care either way - they just send it where you tell them to.

According to IRS Publication 1345 (Rev. 3-2023), tax preparers who offer Refund Transfer products must clearly disclose all fees associated with the service. Has anyone received an explicit breakdown of these fees when choosing this option? I'm trying to determine if my tax preparer followed proper disclosure requirements as specified in IRC §6695(f).
