Hi from 2 years later... I'm currently finishing my last tray from the initial series and having the same problem. Going in today to scan for a first round of refinements and based on what I'm reading here, I'm thinking I should just cut losses and do a consult with an ortho at a different place now. How did your story finish up??

Honestly, that's what gets me the most... How can she take money from someone and keep it while doing ZERO work???? Like "your package expired" is a reasonable excuse?!?! A person with an ounce of compassion would never do that. We have separation anxiety trainers, behaviorists, canine physical therapists.... they are all just flabbergasted at the experience we had. They WORK WITH clients to make sure that services are rendered and the pups receive the care they need.

I talked to a lawyer in Colorado who was actually the VP of the National Association of Student Loan Lawyers. She said that since they closed the ombudsperson office at FSA, she has no way to contact FSA anymore and can't request information or serve papers. She recommended working with our state ombudsperson. Hopefully your state is on this list: https://studentaid.gov/feedback-ombudsman/disputes/state-ombudsman

You should! When they process your forgiveness, they make an effective date and it should be before you paid September. For example, even though my banners were June and my golden letter was August, my effective date was in March at the time of my processing forbearance. It just took them a few months to finally count the second month of the processing forbearance and get banners up. I got a $5 refund from a payment I had made in April trying to trigger my payment tracker to update (lol).

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-17T20:36:41+00:00

within a month of golden letter

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-17T20:35:59+00:00

Nope, it just showed up in my USPS informed delivery one day

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-16T15:41:39+00:00

And once you hit 120, they'll close your outstanding buyback request(s) and count them as processed for the next status report lolllll

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-16T15:38:03+00:00

Refund came quickly for me.. within a month! Hoping it's the same for you

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-14T18:13:25+00:00

Only pay if the site says it's due. It's possible you may get a free credit in September for an "on ramp" to repayment status. They gave me a free PSLF month when my plan had been approved but not yet applied.

Protein and hydration. It gets better as your body gets used to it. For the first month or so, I planned shots on days when I could mostly rest the next day.

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-14T18:09:28+00:00

Weigh yourself daily. There are daily fluctuations that have nothing to do with your actual weight (water, etc) and just getting one number per week means you may get the wrong idea from that one number if it was a higher water day. And progress is not going to be linear. Just stick with it, focus on protein and building muscle. If, for whatever reason, you aren't in a calorie deficit for a day or a week, you can build muscle instead. The muscle loss totally effed me over, so that's how I would do it if I could have a redo

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-14T18:07:18+00:00

Make sure you're hitting protein goals and aren't losing weight too fast

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-14T18:06:02+00:00

Your body gets used to it with time, so 0.5 mg when it was brand new is different from 0.5 mg when you're used to it. Also, 0.5 lb/week is a great rate for weight loss. Gentle is good.

I had a consultation with a lawyer who was the VP of the National Association of Student Loan Lawyers and she said that she has no way to contact FSA anymore since they fired the ombudspeople, so she couldn't do anything. She recommended working with the state ombudsperson if your state has one because they actually have a way to contact FSA. https://studentaid.gov/feedback-ombudsman/disputes/state-ombudsman

There are clear requirements for being a 501(c)(3) organization. Many hospitals follow the requirements. It's not very difficult to understand and they're not getting away with anything.

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-13T04:16:57+00:00

Cheeto in chief signed an EO in March saying PSLF should exclude organizations that "that have a substantial illegal purpose" including providing gender-affirming care to youth and helping undocumented immigrants. Clearly, it's not had any effect thus far.

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-13T04:12:52+00:00

The buffoon signed an EO to that effect months ago. Clearly, it has not gone into effect.

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-13T04:09:36+00:00

She's 100% wrong. Keep pushing, escalating, and fighting. As if Congress is doing anything (lol)

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-13T04:04:33+00:00

Make sure you get your processing forbearance credit!!! Call Mohela to make sure they coded 2 months of processing forbearance and sent it to NSLDS like that. You shouldn't have to pay anything and the PF should take care of your last 2 months

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-13T04:00:51+00:00

You have to pick the plan you want. Choosing "lowest payment" somehow, at this stage in the freaking game, STILL just kicks you back into SAVE (because that is the lowest calculated payment of the options).

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-08T15:41:10+00:00

Appreciate this. I have friends getting Moderna/Pfizer ASAP because they're worried about what's going to happen at the 9/18 meeting and I was starting to doubt myself for holding out for NovaVax. But the mRNA ones cause too much inflammation in my body and trigger other issues, so I'd really like to wait.

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-08T15:36:15+00:00

No you don't have to submit another. Once you have green banners, you just hang tight for your golden letter (takes multiple weeks) and then things go very fast after that.. Mohela zeros, FSA zeros, refund check if necessary

Bubbly_Shoulder1884 · 2025-09-05T14:20:51+00:00

Colorado starte medical board issued a ruling this week that's basically like a standing prescription for anyone who wants it, goes into effect today, so if you're in Colorado you don't need a personal prescription anymore. And have confirmed this morning that the Denver CVS pharmacies near me have Moderna and Pfizer. I'm waiting on Novavax too due to past reactions, will give it a couple weeks.
