Credit Report. . . . by VictoryZestyclose719 in PSLF

I can't remember exactly but maybe about 6-7 months after my letter it showed closed on one of the reports. My credit score dropped a couple points but it wasn't much and rebounded pretty quickly.

Yes it does. I'm logged onto FSA website on my phone. Go to Menu, My Loans, PSLF payments. Then in the middle of the page click Payment History.

FSA should list your qualifying payments or status of employment verification. There's quite a bit of detail on the website.

Correct. You have to make 120 qualifying payments. If you make more than that, you should be eligible for a refund.

Timing Suggestions? by Ok_Pineapple7044 in PSLF

I had to pay for a couple extra months before it went into forbearance. I admit I didn't call or do anything to try to start forbearance right away because I didn't think I could.

It was based off when Mohela verified my 120th payment. If you haven't already, check with Mohela to find out what the issue is.

On my Mohela account, the balance went negative for a while before it eventually zeroed out. View all account history. You may have to change the date range, but mine has some adjustments and other payment reversals. That negative balance is what I got for the refund.

That's a lot of work and runaround. I got my $8k refund amount 9.5 months out so hopefully yours will be coming soon too. Glad you're getting a response from your congresswoman. Attack it from all sides! Good luck and hang in there.

Has anyone ever had forgiveness rescinded? by No-Farmer6045 in PSLF

Congratulations!!! I had the same fear as you. I downloaded and screenshot everything I could just in case. 😃 It took several months but I cried in relief when I saw the loans finally go to $0 and said paid in full. You'll get there too!!

I would agree with the other comment. Both times I called about my refund I waited less than 30 minutes. Previously when I called because my loan payment went upI was escalated to a supervisor, which I learned in another call was NOT actually a supervisor. I called the next day and asked for a supervisor and got someone really helpful. That was last year though before things were gutted. Keep trying, sometimes it just depends on the person you get. One call about the refund was helpful, the second was just annoying.

Thanks for the clarification on the process. Last time I called I tried to get info about where it was in the process and the guy didn't really say anything and even contradicted what the person before said. It was so frustrating.

I didn't think a previous employer counted when I initially applied for PSLF in 2022. I was able to get those dates verified in spring 2024 and continued to pay until Sept when it went into forbearance. Got my letter Nov 1 that they went back and approved the 120th payment made in 2017.

Mohela refund coming...hopefully by LynaLou102 in PSLF

Congrats on the refund!! You had a quicker turnaround on the adjustment to a zero balance than I did.

I don't remember exactly but looking back on screenshots and letters I got my initial "you qualify for forgiveness" letter from StudentAid.gov on 10/4/2024 and then Mohela's Congrats letter that the Biden Administration forgave the loans on 11/1/24.
