Just checking to see if there's been any updates on this sense my original post.
It seems that they are doing reimbursement if you made payments while during the payment pause because of COVID.
- I never had any student loans.
- I paid tuition during the payment pause, in cash without a loan
- I make less than the required $125,000 while I was a student (and to this day)
It seems like I won't qualify for forgiveness or reimbursement because I actually worked hard, put money aside and paid my tuition? But if I was not financially responsible, took out a student loan and bought a $10,000 car instead, I would possibly qualify for reimbursement if I made payments to a loan during the pause? I mean I'm driving a rust bucket that's nearly 20 years old, a new car would be awesome!
This seems kind of backwards to me, but I just want to be sure. I mean I guess I can always apply and see what happens. I have my tax forms to prove it, I paid thousands and thousands of dollars in tuition during the payment pause. But I can't qualify for reimbursement on this money because I did the right thing and was financially responsible? Seems kind of backwards.
