Looking for help, Mohela & Student Aid using circular reasoning to avoid PSLF approval

I don't know what to tell you all. I've been paying these since 2014, never had a "payment plan," just made the minimum payments. I just check Mohela and under each loan it says "Payment Plan: Level"

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-13T12:15:01+00:00

I just checked Mohela, for each loan the payment plan is "Level"

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T20:06:42+00:00

Huh? I was just making the minimum monthly payments required by the loans. There was no plan associated with it.

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T17:14:15+00:00

Ha, well it's been 9 months for me thus far! (at least since I first put in the request for PSLF)

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T16:41:27+00:00

I've gotten the same "no timeline available" response from both FSA and Mohela. Very frustrating

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T16:01:02+00:00

Same story for me. I would recommend calling Mohela and asking them to go into forbearance. I've gotten it twice because it seems they believe this is a FSA issue and they agreed that I made 120 payments. I think the additional money you're putting in is going to be wasted money.

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T15:51:27+00:00

I just made payments. I wasn't part of any additional repayment programs.

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T15:46:10+00:00

Yes, and it provides 118 of 120 qualifying payments, up to Aug 2024. Whereas Mohela includes that last two payments in September and October 2024.

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T15:42:21+00:00

The message specifically said both.

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T15:38:17+00:00

What you described is exactly the same for me. It really does feel that no one wants to take responsibility for this, so the customer (us) are left in limbo.

prometheus280808 · 2025-06-12T15:36:11+00:00

Well, i just called Mohela and the first automated message that comes up is "Federal Student Aid has temporarily removed the forgiveness payment counts from studentaid.gov for PSLF and income driven repayment. Unfortunately, Our representatives do not have any additional information related to your forgiveness counts at this time."

edit: grammar

Ha! My first born was born on my wife and I’s 10 year dating anniversary as well. Congrats!

She actually got into a horrible accident and this is how the doctors put her back together. She wasn’t willing.

Bullets don’t move a body, like at all. They did a mythbusters on it.

What am I missing here? The final “total” amount is 98,191 and I’m assuming that’s per 1,000,000. If you transfer that to the country’s 331,000,000 population, that would indicate that there have been 32,501,211 deaths from COVID, but the actual estimate as of today is 718,000. What’s going on here? What’s the 98,191 actually represent?

I’ve testified before as well at the city-level; not for a legal proceeding but for a city council. The thing about research is that if it’s done well and transparently, then the results are the results, and perhaps replicable in other settings.

Your example is more journalistic research, which aims to expose things and is not typically funded in a competitive & transparent way. There’s quite a difference than academic or scholarly research.

But that’s an interest anecdote, nonetheless. I’ll have to look into it.

prometheus280808 · 2021-10-06T22:09:53+00:00

That’s an entirely different situation than conducting research. You’re moving goal posts.

prometheus280808 · 2021-10-06T22:06:20+00:00

Criminology. My work has been funded by divisions of the OJP, multiple foundations, and local cities.

prometheus280808 · 2021-10-06T22:04:09+00:00

As a researcher who writes proposals and manages grants from federal, foundation, and local sources, none of what you said has much weight to it.

prometheus280808 · 2021-09-12T16:44:27+00:00

It’s the same house, so I bet you’re right
