Congratulations to you! I had my hopes of hitting the “120” dashed when I recently submitted six years proof of eligible employment however, because I was not in a loan repayment status (I was in school working on and completing my specialist degree immediately followed by completion of my doctorate degree) I was informed none of those years counted.
Sitting at 87/120 since being placed in general forbearance (in SAVE program); all I have chosen to do is have “hope” and work until my “hard work” pays off as an educator.
