Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
I guess no one has gotten to the end of IBR and PAYE to actually find out whether the forgiven amount is taxed. Anybody who commentates on this issue is essentially making a prediction about how the IRS and courts will interpret the tax code, right? I don’t know if there is a definitive “correct” a...

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
So is that guy saying that even if you just did 25 years on REPAYE that there is actually no tax bomb? If true, seems like TLS was giving people a lot of shitty advice back in the day Yes it’s only taxable to the extent you have net worth. I’ve said this for years now. No one understands the tax bo...

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
FYI - y'all should call you servicers to see if the extension applies to you. My income based repayment anniversary is on January 1, so I don't qualify. The date is not when your recertification is due, but the anniversary of when you officially entered income based repayment is the reference date ...

It’s fine to ask now. What’s the point in waiting a year. If you don’t like the work, best to get out

No annual income recertification necessary this year either. Just got message that all annual recerts are extended for at least a year.

My email is from fed loan servicing, “an office of the US department of education” and also bears the dept of education insignia. I’d consider that from dept of education.

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
I work in government, and I’m really hoping to qualify for PSLF after just a few more years. Is it safe to pay nothing on my loans until January 2021? Can I safely assume that DOE will properly implement Trump’s executive order on student loans? Yes. Dept of Ed is also an agency. Arbitrary and capr...

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
Worst case scenario you don’t make 3 payments right now and they don’t count. I don’t see why you’d make 3 payments where a $0 payment might count.

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
No I hadn’t gotten there yet. I disagree and think they will count. Trump is literally telling the agency how to do it. It’s an APA question and there’s no clear law on this specific issue but I think forgiveness or not (or counting the payment) if done by the agency would be an agency action. The s...

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
In what sense? Other than making sure that someone fills out the appropriate form so you can certify it was a qualifying job, there isn’t anything to do. I mean when you leave it for good. I was 2.5 years in and left for private practice during the pandemic. I normally would be doing my annual cert...

Re: Holding back a class year at new firm
Gives you another year with lower expectations and to make good money. In an up or out model, at worst it prolongs your inevitable being asked to leave. At best, it gives you a year to learn and be more partner ready. Since no one is making equity partners on any kind of schedule, certainly not one ...

Re: Williams & Connolly Salary Scale
A lot of these smaller firms that fucking grind want associates to buy into the culture. They don’t want the comp to be a distinguishing factor to an outsider/money whore.
