Any one get funds yet?
I feel like I’ve been hoaxed
The award letter states that it can take up to 90 days. The people that I’ve spoken to from the past got theirs around December.

thanks for that!
I thought it was 90 days after counter signature. Which I could be wrong.
I should just be thankful and not complain.

Did anybody else watch the HRSA webinar? They didn't really give a satisfying answer to when or if we need to submit proof of payment to student loans - only that while they recommend a lump sum payment you can pay them as you wish, and that if you want to reapply for a third year you have to provide proof. Does anybody know if we need to provide proof/verification of loans paid, and when that needs to happen? Oy.

I believe you are required to show proof at the time of submitting your renewal application for a 3rd yr. I previously did Nurse Crops and was never asked to show proof (I didn't renew) but I'm not for sure if it's the same for NHSC. I would just keep good records for now.
My payment has posted to my account today!

For anyone trying to apply for this. I am not a troll, I am not here to cause disruption of any type. I am merely here to provide information that you may find suitable with getting answers or making changes with the assistance you receive from the call center. It is not directly related to HRSA, rather a contracted entity. There are people there who do mean the best with you and some who do not. Please keep this in your mind when you are trying to contact someone.
If you do wish to get affirmative answers to your questions, do not go through the Q&A sessions. While the sessions are done by actual employees of HRSA,they are 95% in correct. They do not spend hours combing through the PDF as the call center does. They will give you the wrong information only to have the call center correct them. Please understand that the call center employees know the APG almost word for word by the second or third week of the application cycle.
If you do have a horrible encounter with someone at the call center, reach out to anyone in the contact list of HRSA.gov. It will cause movement and make swift action happen. Provide screenshots, full screenshots. Not photos taken with your phone. Those can not viewed properly. Save your emails for proof too.
I wish you all the luck in the world. Thank you for staying in the field. And remember, your friends 9/10 did not get awarded. Out of all the applications that are received, not as many as you think are awarded.
Stay in the field, you are appreciated by the call center more than you think.
