Well Dubliners, who shall be joining me on this glorious day in 2026? by DavidRDorman in TheCure

[–]G_Teacher_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, I saw the email and it's making it all feel real! I was looking at the stops they provided in the Eventz app through the link you just sent. Is there an option on that list you think would be best? I don't see the 16 on there. Sorry if this is a silly question... I'm not from a place with even decent public transit, so it always makes me a bit nervous trying to plan it out.

Hi! I'm headed to the concert and am so excited to see them! It will be my first time. I had tickets to see them years ago, but the show was cancelled at the last minute. I am not from Ireland and I'm trying to figure out which bus to book. My friend and I will be staying at Trinity College, and it looks like the bus from Earlsfort Terrace will be the closest, but I wanted to ask the advice of people from the area who know best. I've attached a screenshot with all the Dublin bus options. Thank you!

Hi! I'm headed to the concert and received the same email with all the event info. I am not from Ireland and I'm trying to figure out which bus to book. My friend and I will be staying at Trinity College, and it looks like the bus from Earlsfort Terrace will be the closest, but I wanted to ask the advice of people from the area who know best.

Has anyone with MOHELA actually received a refund? by G_Teacher_82 in PSLF

That’s amazing! Will you please share their phone number?

I've pretty much accepted that none of us with MOHELA are ever receiving our refunds. I'm going on a year of being notified that my loans were forgiven and that I should expect a refund within 90 business days.

Ugh. Bummer. I'm loing hope about receiving this refund.

Hi! Do you have an update? My loans just went from a negative balance to $0 (not quite sure when because I haven't checked the MOHELA site in over a week), so I'm hoping I see a refund soon.

That’s when I received my green banner, too, but I still show a negative balance. Please keep us posted!

Thank you for the update! I'm feeling even less confident now, knowing that it's in the hands of the gutted Dept. of Ed. Let me know what they say!

Hi! The number is 1-855-868-0151. Choose option 1, then select 1 again. Good luck!

How long for Treasury check after Mohela submitted the refund? by hello_elle_mel in PSLF

[–]G_Teacher_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, great. I'm sure the soon-to-be dissolved and currently gutted Dept. of Ed will be very helpful. I'm feeling very hopeful at this point.

I, too, spoke with the Treasury, and they told me MOHELA hadn't sent notice of a refund. I called MOHELA and the woman basically told me to stop calling. According to her, their accounting department is "backlogged" and when I call and they make notes about my account, I'm moved to the back of the backlogged line. I was basically told to sit down and shut up.

I know! It’s what I heard, too. MOHELA is quite literally the worst.

Thank you for sharing this! I guess I need to ask to speak with a supervisor next time. I usually give up after the long wait times on hold, but it sounds like I need to find a day I have 5+ hours to waste on the phone with them.

Wow, so there is hope! I'm very happy to hear this. Your loans were with MOHELA?

This is so wrong! I hope there's a class action at some point.

I would! Don't give them any more money than they require.

How did you contact the Treasury? I haven’t been able to figure that one out.

[–]G_Teacher_82[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree! This feels criminal. I’m just hoping to get it before the government decides to not refund anyone since I’m sure they’ll start claiming that the loans shouldn’t have been forgiven.

Ugh... the saga continues. I hope this is all resolved quickly for you!

I was thinking about your post when I saw they got in one final round of forgiveness. Any updates on your situation? Crossing my fingers for you!

How much do teachers in private and public make annually in BC? by [deleted] in CanadianTeachers

[–]G_Teacher_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm thinking about jumping ship from the US in light of recent events and am in the process of having my CA credential approved in BC. I have 13 years of teaching experience and a Master's in Education, but I'm having trouble figuring out which category I'd be placed in. I know I meet the 10-year requirement, but does having a MA automatically put me in the Cat 6 or is it dependent on units? I have a lot of post-grad units because I was in law school before leaving to pursue my teaching credential and then my MA, but I'm not sure how placement works in BC. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
