    What jubilation Kyle must have felt. What a weight off her shoulders. Can you explain how an IDR approved in 2023 will impact prior "regular" payments when people were doing okay financially or graduated payments that some servicers offered to ramp up to higher payments to pay down principal? Are they all covered? I can't seem to get my head around how IDR seems to be fairly recent yet you need to make the 20/25 years of payments under IDR. How, then, are people getting forgiveness on all of their consolidated loans in 2023, like Kyle?

    Thank you for breaking down the details of the IDR waiver! Learned a lot as usual. Are those superpowers you mentioned applied to the double consolidation of Parent Plus loans? Because I'm doing that now and want to know if I will still get the magic of the timeline benefit and the no payment count reset benefit, you mention. You're so good at explaining this stuff and so you make it easy to follow. Love it when you throw in the graphics and the humor! Thanks!

    Hopefully we get refunds for the payments were about to start making again because I consolidated earlier this year and my counts still havent updated. It reset the consolidation to zero and Mohela says it will stay that way UNTIL the waiver is applied. So people shouldnt freak out and should expect their counts to hit zero after consolidation. The highest count isnt applied until the waiver is applied to your account and there's no idea how long that will take. It's definitely not automatic as some of us have been waiting since March and it still hasnt happened. I have payment credit from March to Now but thats it. So I'll have to start making payments again this month even though with the waiver I would be at 136 payments under PSLF and would be forgiven. So technically I shouldnt have to make these payments but I will have to since the waiver hasnt given me forgiveness yet. Sure hope those are refunded!

      I was about to type I. The same question. You had. I have been in repayment since 2008 and have worked with a qualified PSLF employee for the since 2008. I completely missed out on the October 31st 2022 waiver deadline since I had no idea it existed u til after the fact. I just consolidated my loans with Mohela since they were FFELP loans. I had to pay through out the entire covid pause. With the one time account adjustment I hope I am in the clear. I am way over the required 120 payments for PSLF. I was told by Mohela that once everything goes through all payments made after the 120 payment count will be refunded back. Hopefully for PSLF it’s still 120 payments and not the 200-250 payments that I keep hearing about.

I lost all hope but then learned about that temporary one time account adjustments this July so I went back to the federal student aid site and consolidated with Mohela. My remaining balance is now a direct loan under them. I did that this past July 27th. I got all of my qualified employment forms sign and submitted to Mohela which verify that I have been working under qualified employer for PSLF for the past 15 years.

    • @stanleytate

      Yes, consolidation allows you to merge undergrad and grad loans. You're on a 25 year forgiveness timeline as a result of borrowing grad loans. You'll get credit going back to when you first entered repayment, starting from July 1, 1994.

    "Borrowers with original principal balances of $12,000 or less will receive forgiveness of any remaining balance after making 10 years of payments, with the maximum repayment period before forgiveness rising by one year for every additional $1,000 borrowed. For example, if your original principal balance is $14,000, you will see forgiveness after 12 years. Payments made previously (before 2024) and those made going forward will both count toward these maximum forgiveness timeframes." Do you have any clarification on this? What if all my original loans were less than $12,000 but I have old FFEL loans so I consolidated all my loans into 1 direct loan to take advantage of the one-time payment adjustment which would put over me 10 years of payments but less than 20 years of payments. Does the consolidation put me back on the 20 year forgiveness since my consolidated balance will be $72,000 or since all my loans that were consolidated had less $12,000 original balance will that get me forgiveness at the 10 year level?
