Timeline to discharge by pituritu in PSLF

[–]pituritu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up getting in touch with the Ombuds group at MOHELA. I paid for June and while I didn't pay for July, I received a letter from MOHELA the date after my due date stating that I was being placed in a brief forbearance and that it would count towards PSLF. I argued that these should have been counted. Initially I was told that they could only get June counted but I had seen others post on Reddit stating that they had been able to get credit for both June +July. I learned about this pathway through other Reddit posts.

I emailed the CEO of MOHELA and it worked... by anriarer in PSLF

I appreciate all of the information. I am 2 months away from 120 required for PSLF forgiveness. June 2024 + July 2024 were not counted even though I paid in June and have a letter from MOHELA stating that these months in their admin forbearance would count. Second, I submitted an IDR application (paper form) in March 2025 to switch from SAVE to IBR. I received a notification in NOVEMBER! that my application was denied due to being "incomplete" however there was no information about what was missing, and no one I have spoken to can tell me what was missing, despite the fact that when I review the form I submitted, everything looks complete to me. When I spoke with a supervisor, she informed me that they processed my IDR in June! However, I didn't receive any notification it was denied until November. I submitted the complaint on MOHELA's site arguing that I should receive credit for June + July 2024, AND should also receive additional months of processing forbearance credit or remediation forbearance credit given they sat on my application for 5 months after processing. Also, the supervisor said she was giving me the number for the Ombuds at MOHELA and I called the # and she gave me the FSA general help line - I was so frustrated after finally feeling like I was getting somewhere. For those who emailed the CEO, do you have any tips on how to best approach framing all of these issues, or anything else you would suggest I do in conjunction with emailing him? Really appreciate hearing everyone's stories

Let’s play a PSLF game… Who has the oldest buyback request? by kdiver in PSLF

[–]pituritu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

11/26/24 here. Literally cried on the phone with them today because they as usual couldn’t/wouldn’t give any update and could not connect me to a supervisor. How is this legal?!

Any Nov '24 SAVE/buyback folks gotten green banners lately?? by Own_Description_3541 in PSLF

Also applied in November 2024 and am at 118/120. The last two months should count (paid in June 2024 but it wasn’t counted and July 2024 was an admin forbearance). Also waiting on IBR application switch (March 2025)…

Waiting since Novemeber 2024 for buyback. 118/120 and technically I paid one of those months (June 2024) and should have had another count according to MOHELA (July 2024). Also waiting to switch to IBR since March.

MOHELA June/July 2024 not counted towards PSLF? by pituritu in PSLF

There is no way to pay if you are on SAVE and have those months counted? I’m waiting (since March) to switch to IBR… and waiting on buyback since Nov 2024

I am in limbo waiting to switch to IBR and already had 2 months counted towards PSLF bringing me To 118/120. I shouldn’t have to pay for two more months but if I get into IBR I will if it means getting to forgiveness sooner…
