I qualify for the 20k relief since I got Pell grants but I only have 3k left since I accelerated loan payoffs, alas!* I really didn't think he'd do it. Congrats to those who are gonna have a huge chunk of debt wiped out :toot:

* Biden if you're reading this and want to just give me 17k in cash I'm listening

If this is accurate, then you might want to look into it and get some refunds.

Called up my student loan servicer, Great Lakes, on hold for half an hour. I was armed with the amounts I wanted refunded (I paid ~1.1k since March 13, 2020, which is the cutoff), but when I got through, I said I wanted a refund of the money since the student loan deferrals started. The guy was like "sure, looks like it's these two payments, I was gonna ask if you wanted PSLF, but it's not worth it for this amount, and you want the refund for the 10k forgiveness?" (I didn't say a word about the forgiveness but I imagine they've been getting a lot of calls)

So easy peasy to get a refund for payments since the pandemic kicked off if you have the time to sit next to your phone for half an hour. :unsmith:

How quickly have some of you gotten refunds?

Got mine yesterday, with an official email from Great Lakes to go along with it
