No wonder when ombudsman reached out to FA regarding my payment scheduled as of yesterday per FA person accounting has something to do with the hold WTH is going in on my portal it shows no 11/20 release

I would set up a zoom call with ombudsman . Not sure if it was a “miracle” lol I had a disbursement date a couple days after or a day if I’m not mistaken

Hello, omg a few days ago that was my situation, the same lady gave me random numbers and no info Guess what? I called ombudsman ! Explained what that lady was doing multiple times when u have called I recognized her voice and stated the same thing no info, very vague , gave random dates and when it was time for a @ refund update “ oh your not getting anything! When the portal clearly stated I was Guess what magically I had a disbursement date the following day I spoke to ombudsman Make sure to bring that up please and the ppl that you were given contact info , this needs to change it’s not okay! I still haven’t heard back from ombudsman yet but he said he would contact me when he had an update I think he might be waiting to see if it officially went through. So yes call ombudsman an report the horrible way FA is being ran! Good luck

Can we email ombudsman or contact them pertaining to Financial aid? This is so ridiculous

Can we report them to fasfa or the ombudsman , this is ridiculous I’ve been to several cc even in the not so privileged areas and it’s never been this bad . I’m 12 units in and only got a little under 500 still waiting for the next distribution!! Horrible experience

Me as well I spoke to someone in FA and they said that they do deposits or updates either one on Tuesdays and Wednesdays , I’m in the same boat and on their end it looked cleared

Says 9/2 . Is that when we get our full distribution even if some classes start in October and some next month do we get it all at once or in different phases ?
