Kharmyin--just watch the website and sign up to receive an email when the applications are being accepted.

Nursebreeze--we got two deposits in September (one for September and one for October). We then received another deposit in early to mid to November and now are waiting on December's deposit. I thought the stress would go away once we all got our acceptance letters. Now, I am constantly watching the bank for the deposit so I can pay on my loans.

Found out this morning that we should receive a deposit by Friday!! Yippie

I know we are supposed to get 2 payments this month to make up for October, but has anyone received the first of the two yet?

Hi all, Good to see everyone back on here. I too was wondering about October's payment. I'm glad it is not just me. We don't have state taxes taken out in Texas, but wouldn't you think they would know to deduct state and federal taxes for you? I wouldn't imagine you needing to pay the state taxes yourself. Have you tried to call them and ask? Also, are any of you going to apply for the 3rd year? Do you know if they send us the info or do we need to call them?

My husband works at JPS in Fort Worth.

PVNurse1~~We live in Texas and received our award letter in early September. HRSA first contacted us initially in June for payoff info etc. and then around August 6th, we received the emails with the contract etc. I know a few people who got it last year that did not receive any emails. As a matter of fact, a friend of my husbands who received it 2 years ago, never received anything. He just started receiving bank deposits. Don't fret yet~~you still have another week. Good Luck!!

Hey there, No frets!! They will only look at your debt to income ratio. Thank goodness for that! We got it this year. Yea! Good luck for next year!

Payment received today also!! Yea!! Double checked and we can send payment to any/all of the loans on your application as long as the full amount is used. They said to keep copies of all payments in case you are "audited" and asked to supply them with proof of loan payment. I was thrilled to make the payments today especially since it wasn't with my money!! haha

gudiarani~~~i finally found what onelcrna was talking about. i went back to our original paperwork from when we submitted our initial application. here is what i found. i went back to their website so it was easier to locate. it is 30 days after the effective date of the contract. if yours is like mine, the contract date was 8/31/09 so hopefully everyone will have payment by the end of the month. applicant information bulletin: method of payment the hhs disburses each monthly payment through an electronic funds transfer to the participant's checking or savings account identified on the banking information submitted through bcrsis by the applicant. the first direct deposit is made approximately 30 days after the effective date of the contract. participants are required to use the nelrp payments (the amounts received by the participant after federal tax withholding) to pay the lenders or holders of their qualifying nursing education loans, as indicated on a payment authorization worksheet that will be provided to participants with their award notice. periodically, the nelrp will contact a participant's lenders or holders to verify that payments have been made. please note that, unlike some other federal programs, the nelrp does not provide any tax assistance payments.

Mtqu05~~~When you received the verification of acceptance letter, did you also receive a contract to sign? We received both forms (an acceptance letter asking if we would accept or decline an award and another form which was a contract) around August 6th or so. Both forms were in the same email. The actual award letter came on Sept. 3rd. Does this help any?

Mtqu05~~~~If your wife does receive the award, you will actually receive an award letter in the mail stating that you did receive the award, a copy of your signed contract, and a notice of your monthly deposit amounts. This was our 2nd year applying and luckily enough, received our award letter a week ago. Keep praying and good luck!! gudiarani~~~our award letter didn't say when the deposits will start. I couldn't find anything either about the 30 days. OneLCRNA~~~where in your letter did it mention when the deposits will take place?

We received our contract on 8/6 and received the award letter last Thursday. A coworker received the contract last week, so they are still going out. Don't fret yet!!! You have until the end of this month to be notified. Best Wishes being sent your way!!!

YIPPEE!! :wink2: YIPPEE!! :wink2: YIPPEE!! Our letter came today also!!! PRAISE GOD!!! Thank you so much!!! Good luck to everyone!! Please keep us all posted!!

September as begun!! Where are the award letters hiding?? Good luck to us all and be careful not to hurt the mailman!! Keep us posted! OH....mailbox empty here today.
