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'm thinking we won't get them until April, since most of us didn't get the first payment until October.

Got verification form April 1

Well, I am excited I know that they are reviewing my application. I know this means nothing as far as getting approved but at least I know my application was not just sent to a random address. I hope I am approved. This will help me out tremendously as I know it will for every one that has applied. Good Luck to you all.

Just out of curiosity if you got the email that stated Your overall application status is: Accepted Award - Under Final Review, how many actually got the award. I am applying for 2013 as RN Tier 1, 185% HPSA 19.

You're pretty much guaranteed, as long as all of the info you submitted is verified to be correct. I believe everyone who got the email was awarded last year.

Has anyone transferred sites or attempted to transfer a site? I read up on the website, Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program Changing Jobs, Breaching the Contract, Suspension & Waiver but it doesn't say too much aside from submitting a letter with a reason to switch and also from the potential site verifying their status.

I received the award for 2013, I was under the assumption that we would have to show payment verification basically showing that we used the loan money to pay our student loans. I just did my 6 month verification and it did not include sending in documents from my loan servicer showing payements. I was curiouse you know if it is possible to use the money for another loan, I have a private parent plus loan not included, under my moms social I would like to pay it off for her, but I dont want to risk messing up the rest of my award.

I'm not paying any extra on my loans during the time I get this money. I am going to pay down other debt. after all, in ten years what ever is left can be forgiven, but no-one is going to forgive my mortgage. I still would like to know why this program is taxable and the other HRSA loan repayment is not? Who do you think can answer that? HRSA or the IRS?
