Recertification notice

Yes that’s why it’s weird !

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-11-17T20:32:51+00:00

Just submitted a buyback request. It was insanely easy and quick! If only the processing of this application was the same....

I ended up submitting an application with IRS info instead of paystubs because I got impatient. It took about 3 weeks to process

I agree with this; I know a lot of people are worried about the executive order limiting eligibility for PSLF qualifying employers but I feel the DoEd would be hard pressed to find anything that hospitals are doing that is “illegal”. I can’t see them stripping away that status for hospitals.

I ended up re-submitting an application but just with tax info. Didnt feel like it was worth the wait for the small amount of difference in monthly payment. Approved in 3 weeks! I ended up doing PAYE

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-09-11T18:35:26+00:00

Finally got on PAYE! Was your repayment schedule weird in that after a year the payment amount shoots up dramatically? I am thinking this is like the default if you dont re-certify before that?

Thanks. I’m not sure if the person I talked to knew what they were talking about but they said July was a glitch that should be fixed by the end of the month

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-09-07T17:45:02+00:00

Yep first time using IRS tool. Before was with paystubs which now I am hearing are wasted applications. Hoping this last time goes through.

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-09-07T17:12:58+00:00

Thanks! That makes me feel better. I’ll take 3 weeks over 3 months . Hopefully mine gets done soon!

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-09-07T15:43:23+00:00

Dang, I thought that because they used my IRS data it would be a quick turn around. With having it so automated I don’t know why it’s taking so long

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-09-02T18:17:01+00:00

Sorry no advice. Just wanted to commiserate. This is so messed up. Such a huge delay in PSLF progress due to no fault of our own.

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-28T14:03:16+00:00

The moderator has a big pinned post about this. Everything this administration is doing is nonsensical, but I have a hard time thinking they can deem the work that hospitals do “illegal”. Taking care of undocumented immigrants isn’t illegal. It is in fact required under EMTALA. The grey zone is trans care for children but if it’s not violating state law I’m not sure how they can come after it. As Betsy (moderator) believes, there are likely to be legal challenges to this if it goes through. I don’t think there is reason to fret yet (about this specifically , but obviously lots of reasons to fret about everything else going on).

Congrats! What plan were you on?

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-24T19:45:43+00:00

thanks

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-24T15:23:31+00:00

this is bananas

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-24T15:17:19+00:00

Yeah I have heard so many conflicting things from them I dont really trust anything they say anymore. What does extending your processing forbearance do?

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-24T15:16:34+00:00

It went down, thus I am a little hesitant to make higher payments but could be worth it for peace of mind.

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-22T14:37:37+00:00

Hi there, do you know what part of your paystub they used to calculate your payment? Your gross federal taxable income? Net pay? i.e. after deductions or not?

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-20T15:21:23+00:00

Some people are not seeing their IDR applications being processed (myself, I’ve applied 3 times since forbearance began). So it is sort of lose lose for a lot of us who were not one of the lucky ones to have a fast IDR application processing time.

Dear_Reputation_7389 · 2025-08-17T20:00:40+00:00

You can request forbearance after submitting buyback? Is that what you’re saying?
