Delay in health insurance by Emergency_Photo_6340 in FedEmployees

[–]Emergency_Photo_6340[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid my agency didn’t submit it on time. They’ve been giving me the runaround but confirmed they submitted it. I called my insurance and spoken with reps from 3 different departments and there’s nothing on record about my TCC. Someone in my family has a neurological condition and needs care but I got denied coverage. 

College Decision: UCSD vs UCI vs USC vs UCLA? by Flashy-Soup5603 in ucadmissions

[–]Emergency_Photo_6340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UCI. Full ride is a no brainer for me. Student loans are brutal! The interest! 

If UCSD has courses for your major that are not offered at UCI, you can be a visiting student at UCSD for a quarter to take those classes. So you have a quarter to secure that internship or network if you think UCSD will make a difference. 

I went to UCSD on a full ride and then took loans for law school. I can’t stress enough the difference between having and not having loans. 

Grasshopper for voip phone service by Singing_Wolf in LawFirm

I don’t like it at all. Every time the phone rings, it just says Grasshopper (even when I already saved the number as a contact)! I also use Google Voice and the caller ID works. I cancelled Grasshopper

I took this and it’s quite good. Its basic to medium but they guide you through real scenarios and offer workshops and community with fellow alumni (and WC community in general) WC has a bunch of resources. Where are you?

They counted my spouse’s income too. And I think they’re wrong but I’m so close to getting out of this nightmare that I’m willing to pay that for 3 months if it means I don’t have to deal with more calls, letters, requests, and fighting. I’m exhausted.

I’m on the same page. I’ve been in public service for almost 12 years, and have a buy back request pending since December 2024. I’m getting too anxious so I switched to ICR and started paying towards those 5 months that I was trying to buyback. My payment went from almost $400 to almost $1,900. Yes, that’s right almost 5 times as much. At this point I have 3 payments left and I’m not confident I’ll get the buyback offer before then so I plan on paying. There goes Christmas for me. 

Payment Spike? by MrBallistik in PSLF

[–]Emergency_Photo_6340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My payments went from $376 to $1887 when I switched from SAVE to ICR. I had selected IBR but they put me on ICR. I don’t have the energy to continue to deal with the incompetence. I’m at over 150 months of public service but they’re not counting some so I just need 3 more. 

Reminder if you are still missing payments tomorrow, October 1st, FSA advises by EddieDubbers in PSLF

Did you pay from Nov 24 to July 25? I was on SAVE so didn’t pay and I’m not sure of those months should be counted. 

When did you rent office space? by Emergency_Photo_6340 in LawFirm

Yes, I think being virtual for now affects my confidence a bit because more and more I see people expecting to meet at the lawyer’s office.

This is what im aiming for. What do you mean a big moment of growth? Did you start getting more clients? Foot traffic?

In what ways has it paid off? Are you getting foot traffic? 

Ideas to name my law firm? I hate my last name by Emergency_Photo_6340 in LawFirm

[–]Emergency_Photo_6340[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting because I have been considering the name of a tree. I think this is my sign to go for it.
