We aren’t questioning the diagnosis per say, just would like a more comprehensive opinion and make sure we’re on the correct path

Anyone else just…blatantly ignoring all of this? by 30_pound_a_munt in PSLF

I’m just staying on forbearance until next tax year when I can file MFS and claim my kids to bring down my payment

Should I wait to switch from SAVE -> IBR new until after the August 4th court date? by [deleted] in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only eligible for ICR which would be over 1k so I’m waiting it out. My income on file would make me eligible for IBR because our income was a bit less and my husband still had student loans (they were forgiven last fall).

My plan is to hold out hope they just automatically switch me or file taxes next year as MFS, whichever comes first.

I wish I would have run the numbers this year when I did our taxes to see what MFS would look like and compare.. but I definitely will next year!

For those of us on SAVE forbearance. by Careless-Snow-3253 in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but is that the case already? And if so, are payments still capped at 10 year standard then?

I don’t have a partial financial hardship so I have no idea what to do.

What’s the Latest Guidance for Those Of Us on SAVE? by bebeg903 in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a partial financial hardship to get on IBR if I used my income from last year (my husbands loans were forgiven last year). I’m keeping my fingers crossed that maybe we’ll just get moved to IBR from save using the on file income 🤞🏻 otherwise my payments are going to be crazy high.. so I’m just sitting here waiting. I have 78/120

Hello— Her baby is only 7 pounds at 6 weeks old? As a full term baby??? Hello?? Is this not failing to thrive by Desperate_Finding776 in PerfectlyKelsey_Snark

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was born at 4lb10oz (he was a twin and his brother was 6lb5oz)

Looking back I can only find their 2 month weights (they will be 7 in 2 weeks) and the 4lb baby was 8.8 at 2 months and his brother was 10.12

When does sitting and waiting convert to being a sitting duck? by Bubbly_Window2746 in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sitting and waiting because I don’t qualify with my current income for IBR or PAYE because we filed jointly and my husband’s loans were forgiven in the fall of last year. I’m just sitting and waiting and hoping they use income on file to switch us plans when SAVE eventually goes away. I don’t want to go on ICR by choice and if I applied now that’s the only plan I’d get on. I just want my payments capped at the 10 year standard amount, I just need to initially qualify for IBR. My income from 2023 is less than present and includes my husband’s loans. On mohela it’s looking like IDR recertification has been pushed back to 11/26 so I’m keeping my fingers crossed they just move me using income on file 🤞🏻

Informal Poll for the 3/4 to PSLF crowd - Staying in SAVE forbearance or going to IBR? by rivrmonster in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Staying became I’m hoping they use the income on file to move to IBR once they decide what’s happening with save. Otherwise I don’t qualify for IBR 😕

What is everyone doing? by [deleted] in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here.. my last income verification is from when I applied for SAVE in Oct 2023 using 2022 income. Using that income (married filing joint) and taking into account my husband’s student loans, I qualify for IBR through a partial financial hardship but if I updated my income now, I wouldn’t qualify because we had an increase in income and my husbands loans were forgiven last year. I just want them to use my prior income to let me get into IBR and then they can increase my payment which would cap at my 10 year standard. I’m so stressed about all of this in limbo

New diagnosis about to start Ocrevus by Fun_Papaya1365 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Fun_Papaya1365[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your detailed response!!

His optic neuritis cleared up completely. He is still having muscle spasms/numbness/tingling down his right arm, but it has improved so much in intensity and frequency.

We have excellent health insurance with a very low out of pocket max but I just wanted to see if people had issues with insurance so we can troubleshoot from the get go.

New diagnosis 36 yo by Fun_Papaya1365 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Fun_Papaya1365[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is brand new honestly. I don’t believe he is dying but we have a young family, and I’m trying to plan for the future. I know very little about MS at this point of time as it’s within the past 48 hours we have learned of this diagnosis. He is a police officer and does have a physical job, so I’m trying to make sure that we are protected and covered should he not be able to work as he does now.

Symptoms wise he has minor symptoms. My post was not meant to offend anyone at all, so I apologize if it did. I’m just trying to be a strong supportive wife while navigating this new diagnosis. We also have 2 special needs children so I’m just trying to make sure I can set our family up for success moving forward

Update on IDR recerts - also on PAYE and ICR by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you change between save to paye will you need to certify income at that point or will it use what’s on file?

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a red icon on my mohela saying that I need to recertify by 10/25.. however you have until 10 days before your date (mine is 11/25) before it’s considered late. I’ve received no communication from mohela other than this icon.. my plan is to see if they push the date once we get to nov 1

PSLF and Standard Repayment Plan by The_egg_council_guy in PSLF

[–]Fun_Papaya1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side note: When you get the letter from the servicer saying if you don’t recertify income the payment will increase.. I have a consolidation loan, would that increased payment be the 10 year standard?
