NELRP is there a thread?

Published

Is there already a thread for RNs waiting to hear about awards from the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program?

When I search, I can only find previous year's threads.

customer service said they received an email saying that payroll has been submitted and we WILL receive deposits by end of month!!

No deposit yet. Contract signed 9/14

Did anyone receive a payment this week?

Nothing here either:(

Contract signed 9/11

Heard from HRSA that checks will be deposited before October 31

I hope we start to receive payment soon. I feel bad even beginning to complain about when when when, but I feel like this process has been a consistent game of waiting.

Me too! My other problem is that I am having a hard time being happy about the help knowing there are others out there in the same financial mess as me and didn't receive it this year.

Exactly... I know that my loan payments are considerable, and honestly most of my friends who have degrees in other areas have just as much debt if not more. The difference is that we have certain programs such as this which are amazing, so in my circle of conversation though they're happy for me I hate to even being to start carrying on about this delay in payment. It's funny I only feel free to even voice my frustration with this process here. Idk I just feel like I've graduated from checking the portal 1000 times a day for status change, to checking my email for the confirmation, to checking my phone for alerts from my bank of a deposit lol.. OCD alert

I too have not received first payment. I checked the portal and it says payment processed. I hope that means a deposit is on its way! The thing I feel bad about is that I want to find out why we pay taxes and the other HRSA loan program very similar to this one, but for physicians and NPs, don't have taxes. I feel like I should be happy for the money, and I am. But the taxes are so high, and that money would really help. I'm still going to have a lot of debt left after 3 years in this program (if I get the 3rd year).

I received my first payment on 9/19 (same start day and deposit as tgonzalez) but no payment this month even though the rep told me to expect payments roughly every 30 days after the initial payment went through. Good thing I had extra money sitting in my account since I went ahead and set up an automatic payment on my loans. So for those still waiting, even when you get it, be cautious about expecting it will come at the same time each month.
