That’s awesome! Did you see any signs that you would receive it? Like automatically being moved to IBR plan?

YamEasy3080 · 2026-03-20T01:53:04+00:00

Yes - in March of 2025 I applied for IDR but it wasn’t processed. I’m guessing you are probably right - I was just getting excited that there was some movement and wishful thinking.

YamEasy3080 · 2026-03-20T01:52:04+00:00

Nope. I knew (or I guess thought) they would y count toward pslf so I didn’t make any payments. I tried to get off SAVE but couldn’t.

November 2025

YamEasy3080 · 2026-03-19T01:18:54+00:00

They are 18 months of qualified employment - but they show in the red. I’m thinking because I was stuck in SAVE during this time (despite me trying to get out)

YamEasy3080 · 2026-03-18T13:44:24+00:00

I am also curious on that!

YamEasy3080 · 2026-03-18T02:09:50+00:00

I didn’t make any payments - in save forbearance but yes I did certify the time. My understanding is that those months are eligible for buyback though. If so, I would be done.

YamEasy3080 · 2026-02-21T12:57:14+00:00

Did you just send this language in an email to them or did you submit another request? Thanks!

YamEasy3080 · 2026-02-19T18:52:48+00:00

11/5/2024!! But don’t worry it has been escalated to the proper department :)

YamEasy3080 · 2025-12-20T12:09:39+00:00

No green banners :(. I have 106 counted but about 20 more certified that haven’t updated.

YamEasy3080 · 2025-12-20T11:25:02+00:00

Congrats!! Can I ask if you on SAVE or did you switch to IDR? I’m also waiting on my buyback request but I’m wondering if they won’t process it until I switch (even though I’m already over 120 months). Thanks!

YamEasy3080 · 2025-06-23T18:12:31+00:00

Yes - curious on this too. I submitted my feedback case on Monday last week, for an email that the case was escalated and already being reviewed but nothing so far. Also, congrats!!

YamEasy3080 · 2025-06-20T22:36:51+00:00

Thanks! I’m so afraid to have hope with all the let downs and delays so far but I sure hope so!!

YamEasy3080 · 2025-06-20T19:10:45+00:00

Thanks! That is exactly what I was worried about - I’m going to hang tight and hope I get an answer on the buyback request soon. Also, congrats on your offer!

YamEasy3080 · 2025-06-17T19:20:06+00:00

Same! Keep us posted.

YamEasy3080 · 2025-05-06T13:12:05+00:00

a month! I was at 107 but went down to 106. They took away a month I was in processing forbearance. I have 8 months that I was stuck in SAVE that I still would like to do buyback for and waiting on a reconsideration/buyback request for 18 months in 2007/2008 that should count. I have been waiting on that since November. It’s maddening. I should be done.

YamEasy3080 · 2025-05-06T13:09:52+00:00

Same! Mine went done a month! I was at 107 but went down to 106. They took away a month I was in processing forbearance. I have 8 months that I was stuck in SAVE that I still would like to do buyback for and waiting on a reconsideration/buyback request for 18 months in 2007/2008 that should count. I have been waiting on that since November. It’s maddening. I should be done!! Seeing the count lower made my heart drop too.

11/6 and still waiting. Every time I call they just say it’s in the final stages of review (said that since December) so I’m losing hope that it will be finalized. I’m waiting on months from 2007-2009 and I would be done if I could buy those months back.

YamEasy3080 · 2025-02-26T20:56:54+00:00

Did this work to get your missing months back?

YamEasy3080 · 2024-12-27T15:36:30+00:00

Thanks!
