I didn't think we were getting taxed again...where did you guys hear that? I thought it was just the amount they withheld. ??

I'm back, rested and smiling (off yesterday). AND I think I can address some of these issues without feeling exposed.

Taxes - I am no expert, so you cannot hold me to specifics, but problems I have seen in the past are mostly not anticipating what this award does to your net income. For many of you this is a significant increase and can push you into a higher tax bracket. We do withhold taxes on the 60% awarded - but as a stand alone figure. Only you (and your accountant) can determine what the net increase in income does to your specific situation. Please note - you cannot use the money we provide to pay the higher taxes - it all must be applied to your loans.

Loan Payments - You are required to spend the money we give you on your verified and approved student loans. With that said we don't care how or where you pay your loans. Many people pay their highest interest off first, others pay an equal portion to all, other pay towards the oldest loans, and still others pay proportionate to how much they owe. We don't care. What you will need to do, should you be asked, is provide a loan repayment summary showing that the money we sent was indeed posted towards your loans. And these repayment histories are pretty much just printing web pages from your lenders.

Hope this helps!!

so, i decided to start the thread as strider suggested. great idea :up:;) for us awardees to start talking. i have read that the way we get further taxed is that this now becomes a part of our reported taxable income when we file taxes, so thats how we are taxed twice unfortunately.

NELRP I am really needing help! We have a very high debt to income ratio and moved to a very rural area to give ourselves the best chance possible to receive this loan. I spent hours making my application as detailed and organized as possible. We had an issue with our emailmand are worried we have missed something. As of yet we haven't heard anything and the call center does not seem to have any information to tell me anything. We are so worried. Should we just assume the worst at this point and figure we were not chosen to receive funding?

So if I have not received an email at this point are my chances shot? I have a ratio of 125% and work in a DSH?? I am so disappointed.

PLEASE READ THIS and try to help me out here.

As I explained, I joined this blog in an attempt to alleviate the incredible stress and anxiety I saw when I first scanned through these pages. I made it very clear that I was doing this on my own, without approval, and possibly putting my self at some risk.

I got a voicemail from my boss this morning that he received a message from the Help Desk that "a NUMBER of calls received referenced some BLOG". I really need to nip this in the bud or I will have no choice but to cease all communications. Perhaps I could have been clearer, or not everyone has read all my posting - whatever at this point.

You have every right to call the Help Desk - they do not have access to all of the details and are only allowed to relay specific information - none of which is current status. If I could have made ONE post referring you all to them I would have. Calling them and referring to this blog is not getting you anywhere with them, jeoparizing me and frankly making me considerably more cautious and concerned about what I have already shared and what I am now willing to share in the future.

Please,please please do NOT refer to this blog in any communication with HRSA, my peers who will be handling your cases as things move forward, or others in your workplace that are not participating in this media.

I have offered everyone the opportunity to PM me. I have always done what I could without crossing the line. If you can't PM me and don't want to make 15 random posts you need to just be patient and wait to hear.
