MOHELA SAVE plan application processed by FSA but no update from MOHELA - What to do next?

I found a way to solve MOHELA SAVE plan processing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTixx36LB2g

Based on what you have described, it seems like MOHELA might be dealing with system updates or glitches, which is unfortunately a common issue in large organizations. While waiting for a response can be incredibly frustrating, you can take proactive steps to resolve the situation. First, ensure that all your documentation is in order and track any confirmation from Federal Student Aid concerning the processing of your application. You might want to reach out to MOHELA through multiple channels - phone, email, or even social media. Sometimes social media inquiries can prompt faster responses. Additionally, consider using tools like Claimyr, which, despite the cost, could save you valuable time and frustration. However, weigh the costs and benefits wisely before proceeding, as there are no guarantees of success. Don’t hesitate to contact your congressperson as well, as they can sometimes expedite the process with federal agencies. Remember, persistence is key, and documenting every step will be beneficial for your case.

I'm convinced MOHELA is just a front for a secret government experiment to see how much frustration humans can take before we all collectively lose it

Have you tried reaching out to your congressperson? Sometimes they can help push things along with federal agencies.

I had a similar issue. Turns out, there was a glitch in their system. Try calling them directly. It took me forever to get through, but once I did, they were able to fix it on the spot.

have you tried sending them a strongly worded letter? Sometimes going old school works 📝✉️

yall ever think about how much easier this would be if we just... didn't have student loans? 🤔 just a thought

Guys, I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. The entire student loan system needs a complete overhaul. We're just putting band-aids on a gushing wound at this point.

Same boat here. Applied for SAVE over a month ago and crickets from MOHELA. Its frustrating af. 🤬

Hey guys, I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/kfgsWnbb8cU

I heard a rumor that they're updating their systems soon. Might explain some of the delays. Take it with a grain of salt tho.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with MOHELA and the SAVE plan: 1. Be patient: Processing times can vary wildly, from a few weeks to a couple months. 2. Double-check everything: Make sure all your info on the Federal Student Aid site matches what MOHELA has. 3. Document everything: Keep records of when you applied, any confirmation numbers, and all communication. 4. Use multiple contact methods: Try phone, email, and even snail mail if necessary. 5. Be persistent: Sometimes you need to follow up multiple times. 6. Check your spam folder: Sometimes important emails end up there. 7. Consider consolidation: If you have multiple loans, consolidating can sometimes speed up the process. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself!

MOHELA is the worst. I swear they're purposely making this difficult. The whole student loan system is a joke.

plot twist: MOHELA is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels and thats why everything takes so long 🐹🐹🐹

guys I finally got through to MOHELA after trying for weeks and you know what they told me? "We're experiencing higher than normal call volumes" NO SHIT SHERLOCK 🤦‍♂️

Pro tip: if you call MOHELA exactly 3 minutes after they open, you have a better chance of getting through quickly. Worked for me twice!

Has anyone else noticed that MOHELA's website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Applied for SAVE about 3 weeks ago, FSA shows it's processed, but radio silence from MOHELA. It's so frustrating because you don't know if there's an issue or if they're just slow. I've been checking my account daily like a crazy person 😅 From reading through these comments, it seems like calling them might be the way to go, even though the wait times sound brutal. Let me know if you hear anything - maybe we can compare notes!
