💥WOW 😎 I got a refund check AFTER my student loan forgiveness [View all]

I got a check from the US Treasury today. It says “FED STUDENT LOAN REFUND”. I had no idea. It’s a US Treasury check.

Whaaaat?
Yeah apparently it wasn’t just my loan balance that was paid. I’m getting a refund on payments I made. I mean I’ve got it.

My post about my surprise loan forgiveness of my $34,000+ balance.

The check is for $8,800+

I guess we are getting a new deck on the house.
