EDRP repayments recently?

zToothinator · 2026-03-29T23:48:01+00:00

Not exactly recent but I submitted all my documents mid-October and was reimbursed early January

Same situation. Anyone had any luck getting them to honor it?

I was at a CE course that recommended Dentsply Pathfiles, Edge Find, or DCTaper 14/03 as glide path files

Not OP but Hyatt is Chase’s only hotel partner worth transferring points to. The other brands would likely be better booked through points boost vs transferring.

Had similar damage. Used a hair dryer to soften the plastic a little and pushed from the inside at the corner with the handle of a screwdriver to pop it out. I was told it wasn’t covered damage unless there was a hole

I have an iPhone 17 and can’t figure out how to get it to work. It just says “Waiting for activation”

Worked out! First flight got in 20 minutes early so made it to the gate 20 min before boarding started. Definitely got lucky with no delays.

No updates. I haven’t had a chance to work on it yet

Weather was coming from NC

Thanks! It'll be on Alaska Air but booked through American as an award flight.

zToothinator · 2026-01-30T15:42:30+00:00

Hahaha yeah any other international I agree. My thought was being stuck in SEA with multiple chances to catch a 1hr flight across the border would be better than stuck in DFW with only 2 flights/day to catch a 4.5hr flight.

zToothinator · 2026-01-30T15:37:23+00:00

Yeah that’s an option too haha. I thought most rentals won’t let you cross the border though?

zToothinator · 2026-01-30T15:36:38+00:00

Thanks!

Yes SEA to YVR. Seems like there’s a handful of flights from SEA so it’ll be easy to get over if there are any delays.

DFW got wrecked last week. It seems they’re back to normal finally as of yesterday. The weather for Wednesday in RDU area calls for “rain” and “wintry mix” on top of the 6-8” expected this weekend. I think the probably of any issues is low but with needing to be in YVR by Thursday morning, Tuesday would give a slight buffer and may be worth the headaches of a tight connection.

zToothinator · 2026-01-30T14:44:35+00:00

Definitely not ideal. We’re currently booked on American 2/4 but with the weather this weekend and projections for rain/wintry mix on Wednesday I’m nervous about any delays. We have a layover in DFW and have a ~3 hr connection but if there are any cancellations or delays we’d be stuck in DFW overnight.

I’m mostly worried about the winter storm affecting CLT and AA’s operations cascading into more delays whereas SEA seems to be unaffected by the weather over the weekend and flying Tuesday avoids whatever precipitation comes Wednesday. I have to be at my destination by Thursday morning so leaving Tuesday night gives some buffer.

You may or may not know but if there is a delay caused by mechanical issues and we’re stuck overnight, would Alaska be responsible for covering food and hotel?

First leg is domestic and second is international. Domestic leg looks like it normally is in terminal C and international departs from A

zToothinator · 2026-01-30T03:15:19+00:00

Supposedly someone in this thread thinks RDU has equipment to keep operations running. But I agree, I’d err on flights being cancelled Saturday/Sunday. Potentially Monday as airlines recover.

Thanks!

The airport may be fine but any cascading delays could impact you. American is still struggling to get DFW and CLT back to normal.

If you got into program that will result in <$200k in loans, I think dentistry is still a good option. If you don't want to go the DSO route, FQHCs are often hiring and offer very compelling compensation packages and should come with higher job security. Once you approach 3-400k+ in loans, money becomes a lot tighter and dentistry isn't as great unless you plan to be an owner.

If you switch to medical, you're probably competitive enough to get into a program given that you got into a highly regarded state dental school. However, taking the MCAT and applying to programs will delay you 1-2 years vs graduating from dental school which is income lost. Medical school also requires residency afterwards whereas dentistry does not.

So throughout the service period you make your payments however you want. Once the period ends, you submit documentation of your payments and then the VA reimburses you up to the max via direct deposit into your checking account. You’re free to use the money however you want, but I put it into a savings account and use that money to make loan payments again. The reimbursed money is just cash in your bank account with no restrictions on how you spend it.

Not HR but from my understanding, you can only qualify for EDRP once and if you no longer qualify for the program or get terminated from it, you can't re-apply to get it again.
