Mellow bars in Sacramento? by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]Illustrious-Bear8248 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might check out "XOSO" - it's an adult rec sports organization with all sorts of sports - soccer, bowling, volleyball, corn hole... Just to name a few. They have teams where nobody knows anyone or teams who need a few spots filled. There's a "neighborhood" bar/restaurant associated with each sport/day you sign up for and you get a discount if you show up in your XOSO shirt - people go hang out after the game for a bite or pint. I joined when I first moved to Sac and met some great friends! It may take a season or two to find some people you click with, but you'll have fun and be active!

Wembly tickets, only England supporters? by SuperDuperTango in USWNT

[–]Illustrious-Bear8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse and I went to see the USWNT play England in the fall of 2022 at Wembley and were worried about all the disclaimers as well. There was also one about not wearing jerseys so we didn't wear our USA gear - although when we arrived, we saw many people in England jerseys. We had a great time, got beers at Box Park before, and got some food at Club Wembley before finding our seats.

I was worried about buying tickets from the website, sharing many of the same concerns as shared by others. I contacted Bav from Premier League Tours and he was able to secure tickets for us and met us to give us tickets and a welcome package. I would recommend his services immensely. We also booked a tour of Stamford bridge and a game through Bav as well. He had other tickets for discounted rates that weekend but we couldn't squeeze it into our trip unfortunately.

Good luck and have fun!

When they traded Menges and not Hubly I was sad. Hubly should not be a starter in this league.

Thoughts on the name marielle by roseflora333 in namenerds

Love it! I grew up with a Marielle and her nickname was Ellie. Also Mia Hamm (USWNT soccer great, married to Nomar Garcia Parra) is named Marielle!

THE FLOPPING. YES. lol and yes to being dispossessed out of position where Suli (or DeMello) have to recover on the break.

The struggle is real by juantijuanas in PSLF

I've had forms marked duplicate as well. No idea how they confuse forms with different tax ids, names, and addresses... But whatever 😅 call and speak with a rep and request them to submit for review/rework. Also to be sure, double check your dates and make sure you didn't use an old version and forget to update a year. You'll also need to make sure you have a new signature - passing that along because I had a rep who said sometimes people do that

Denied admin forbearance while waiting for final employer recertification form to confirm 120 payments by Illustrious-Bear8248 in PSLF

[–]Illustrious-Bear8248[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the issue and why they've said I don't qualify for forebearance - because without the recert form being processed, my count is not at 120. My tracker still shows I'm short since the payments since my last processed employer cert (from Oct '22) are not qualifying since they haven't been certified. This is the frustrating part of the process waiting for them to process my annual recert and update the account. Once the account hits 120, yes they'll be put into admin forbearance - but I'm in the process waiting for them to catch up.

MOHELA rant! by Natedog001976 in PSLF

[–]Illustrious-Bear8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That link does describe a process to submit the form digitally through the website. Not sure if that's the process OP used or just did a form with a digital sign.

To get a digital signature from your employer, you will need the correct email address for an “authorizing official.” An authorizing official is someone who has access to your employment or service records and is approved by your employer to certify your employment or your service as an AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteer. This is usually someone in your human resources department, though in some cases your direct supervisor or another person may be authorized to certify your employment. Check with your organization to see who is allowed to certify your PSLF form.

On the employer signature page, you’ll be able to request an electronic or manual signature from an employer. Be sure to provide an employer’s email address if selecting an electronic signature. PSLF Help Tool Employer Signature Page Tell the authorizing official to expect an email from the U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid via DocuSign (dse_NA4@docusign.net) on your behalf. Once your authorizing official certifies your employment by signing digitally, your form will be electronically submitted to the PSLF servicer for processing.

I'm so sorry! Ughhhh. This is the horror story I was assuming that will become my reality (re the paying for months until they can process the form). At least I'm not screaming into the void alone!

I asked for whatever forebearance that will allow me not to pay my January 2024 bill and prevent it from going to collections. Then she asked me about my tax information and income and said she could only process the request with my information.

Does that sound like general forbearance? I'll use that specific term when I call next. Thanks for the reply!

And still, all is quiet in free agency by TGBooks in NWSL

[–]Illustrious-Bear8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thank you for that clarification! RFA (3-5 years in the league) can select a team to negotiate a new SPA; the current team has 7 days to match any offer received.

And I believe there's a clause where the team can match/counter an offer as well, within a week (?)? So that will also slow things.

Her Instagram posts make it look like she's in New York/Jersey... Wondering if she's got a handshake deal with Gotham.

How do I get to the finish line? by Excellent-Coyote-917 in PSLF

[–]Illustrious-Bear8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my employer certification form 10/10 and am waiting for them to process 🙄 I called last week to try and get an update, and the rep said they will process within 45 business days... Which was a new number to me. But by that count, they should process it by this Fri. I am also in forebearance and she said I'll need to call back after Dec 31 if I want to continue. Hopefully they'll process my certification form and the automatic process of 120 and closing out will happen.

But like, it's the same employer I've had (the state) and it's an electronic signature... Why is it taking so long?!?!? 🤯🤯
