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.

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).

Where do you go to on the portal so see where it says payment processed?

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.

I too received a payment on 9/19, but have not received a deposit this month.

So I called today to ask about this months deposit for this month. I was told that since it was the end of one fiscal year going into a new fiscal year it is delayed. It should be deposited by the end of the month, but it is not considered late until the 15th of next month.

Got deposit today.. No back pay though..

Same here, I received a deposit but no back pay.

Same here.

Weird...so most of our contracts started 9/6. Its now 10/29, so we either should get another payment by 11/6 or we will be one month behind right?

Deposit today, no back pay. Contract started 9/14.

I dont know why we didnt get back pay? Maybe we will get another deposit like mentioned above.. Im to lazy to call help desk.. Waiting on one of you guys. ;)

I received one payment also. I was wondering if this means we will be obligated an extra month or be short one month of payment. I've called so many times that I'm afraid to call again!

I was never under the assumption that we would get back pay. My payment worksheet clearly states that the first month will be the same as all other months. There will be 24 payments in all, meaning the last payment will be made sometime in september of 2014. We will neither have an extra month of service nor be short a month of payment.

I think where the confusion lies is that some people's first deposit was double-one for the current month and one for the previous month. One of my papers said that the first payment would be in approximately 30 days and may include one month retroactive.
