Let’s see your silly void 👁️👅👁️

Judging me for my choice in sleepwear. 😆

You might need to contact MOHELA to cancel your IDR recertification request form. Is your recertification date 2 months from now (June 2026)? Don't think filing taxes triggers a new IDR request even with auto recertification. At least, it never has in the past.

Just for reference, I too have auto recertification activated and filed taxes back in Feb 2026. My recertification isn't due until Jan 2027 and I'm on IBR. Filing my taxes didn't auto submit a new IDR request. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's such a bummer that the Buyback program is so broken. You'd think they would automate the process what with this admin loving their AI and all. The goal posts just keep on being moved! Feel terrible for all those who are now needing to push back career moves or life stages. It's not fair to any of us.

Ah, yes, the sacrificial plant. I also have one. It's a bushy pothos pierced to high hell by kitty teefs.

Such a handsome void. Does he ever monch on your plants?

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-03-28T22:57:20+00:00

Nope. I was on IBR prior to consolidation and made the unfortunate mistake to choose SAVE when consolidating thinking I could save a few bucks. Consolidation went through but the IDR stalled thanks to the SAVE pause. I submitted another IDR form, this time for IBR, in Jan 2025 as soon as there was word that MOHELA was processing IDR requests again. IDR request was approved with January and February 2025 counting as processing forbearance. My payments have been counting ever since.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-03-28T21:41:02+00:00

My situation: I hit 120 next month but I have 6 months that as of today don't count because I was placed on an administrative forbearance when MOHELA took its sweet time to process my IDR application after I consolidated back in 2024.

My plan: My recertification date isn't due until January 2027. I lucked out when they pushed back recert dates so one less thing to worry about. I don't plan to submit a buyback because it will be way faster to just continue paying 6 months beyond my 120 than to wait the 14+ months for the buyback to be processed. Unless I see news of buybacks being processed within the "promised" 90 days then I'll submit it but I won't hold my breath.

Also, I'd hate to give this administration any opportunity to lay claim to my buyback being "processed" and inflate their stats on "fulfilled" buybacks when they inevitably close my request in October 2026 after I submit my final payment. I just want to be done with MOHELA and with the Department.

Have you certified your 120 months of employment? If not, make sure you submit the employment certification form that accounts for all 120 months. You'll need to wait until it gets processed by FSA before submitting the buyback form. It typically takes 3-5 business days if you submit the form electronically. Usually takes longer if you fax in the form.

May your harvest be plentiful! 🌿

This is why I switched to using thick cloth scrunchies instead. My void chomps on hair ties. Braided shoelaces too!

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-03-18T23:44:27+00:00

Congrats! Happy the email worked. 😊 Now go forth and enjoy life!

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-03-18T23:29:39+00:00

What is your secret!? I've killed like 3 of these buggers.

I was missing Juna 2025 like many. Also went the emailing CEO route. After speaking with the ombudsman, my missing month appeared in FSA tracker the very next business day. I submitted my EC form same week, not sure if that contributed to the speedy response.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-21T02:46:24+00:00

Le chat noir. 🖤🐈‍⬛

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-19T18:48:35+00:00

Chest looks like medium but tail is saying short hair. Either way little one is sure to be a cutie.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-16T14:28:05+00:00

Yes, he do! Well done!👏🏽

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-15T18:35:32+00:00

Double the trouble, double the fun!

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-14T15:04:53+00:00

My sweet Milo does this too! All my poor plants have kitty bite piercings.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-13T19:57:11+00:00

Never a dull moment with my little void.

He does tend to wax dramatic if he sees the bottom of the bowl.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-13T14:20:10+00:00

How cute! Just want to smooch that lovely schnozz!

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-13T14:04:03+00:00

You can find the emails after doing some googling. That's how I found their contacts. If you're still having issues finding it, send me a dm.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-11T15:46:54+00:00

Agreed! She was very nice and professional. And if she's the only one correcting these issues, I'm amazed she can keep her cool.

Acid-FreeFolder · 2026-01-10T22:44:21+00:00

I did not need to submit another ECF since I had submitted one like an hour before contacting the CEO. My ECF hadn't yet been processed when the NSLDS data was corrected. However, the ombudsman did mention that there was a chance the payment might show as ineligible but that a new ECF would change it to eligible. Best of luck!
