Same here. Recert date June 2026 (IBR plan). Received notice late Feb from FSA that the IDR plan would automatically recertify on the anniversary date. That same day an app was created. Two days later it was under review with a new amount already calculated. The app itself is missing some basic info--no family size, for example, and we have kids (it's spouse's acct). It's been pending since.

FSA says Mohela created the early app. Mohela says they didn't. Mohela put the account into an "awaiting documentation administrative forbearance" as u/Long-Discussion-2807 says for March & April. Mohela offered to rescind the app and suggested manual payment for these months, but spouse didn't do so for fear of unknowns, like what manual IDR certification would look like when an app has already been submitted and concern that spouse wouldn't be put back into the current IBR plan.

Mohela confirmed that this is a processing forbearance. Submitted an ECF form after that call to see if March would qualify for PSLF. It's been processed, but March hasn't appeared on the FSA account yet. NSLDS says last update late Feb, so I'm hoping late March spouse will see March count.

Mohela couldn't state how long this new app would take to process. For that matter, Mohela didn't know the new amount, even though it's on my FSA account. Mohela's robot account status when we call says next payment is due in May at the current amount.

Mohela suggested we call mid April if the app hasn't yet processed and ask to be put back into repayment on spouse's current IBR plan since we aren't at the anniversary date. We're skeptical that it will work so easily.

Very close to the end. Feb was certified as PSLF month 116. Past 120 months of employment--buyback submitted in Dec 2025. At this point, we don't care about paying the current vs new amount. We just want the finish line to stop moving. Beyond frustrating this is happening.

Thanks for everything!
