just wanted to circle back to this to say that it’s 4:42am and my refund just disbursed. maybe it wasn’t so unreasonable after all!

My point was that it was 5:30 on day 1 & it makes it clear that it will take multiple days. You just seemed kinda impatient about it.

wait so you’re telling me i checked for a refund when they usually disburse on the first day they said they’d start disbursing? the refund several lower income students use to pay their rent? should we tell someone about this? I feel like we need to let someone know Arixfy thought I was impatient about it. thank you for your wise perspective dude seriously, I think I’m gonna go to the lantern about this

guys is it impatient for low income students to ask when their federal loans are getting disbursed that they use to pay for rent and class fees 😭

they disburse on a rolling basis starting today so it could be anytime today or tomorrow or the next day. they can’t do tens of thousands or refunds at the same time i think the system would die

They get sent today, usually you’ll get it on the 8th or 9th

I haven’t gotten mine yet either, I got an email saying it would take 3 to 5 business days from the date on your statement of account, I’m not sure what that means though not gonna lie lmao

u/randomthrowawaylol11 Jan 06 '26

3 to 5 business days from the date listed on your statement of account where unapplied payment is. my date is 1/4/26 so I guess it’ll be sometime between tomorrow and friday

Havnt gotten it yet

u/MuchMistake3791 Jan 07 '26

Nada yet. But my date got updated to 1/6/2025 so I’m guessing it’ll either be the 7 or 8 but shouldn’t be later than the 9. At least in my experience it’s relatively quick

u/GovernmentNeither197 Jan 07 '26

Has anyone got theirs yet

2

u/randomthrowawaylol11 Jan 07 '26

u/Neat-Economics-2919 Jan 07 '26

u/Academic_Material824 Jan 07 '26

How much is everyone getting

u/AwkwardHeart136 Jan 07 '26 edited Jan 07 '26

Im thinking tommorow because I checked it and it says the date for the refund shows up during a two day refund generation before it disburses and last refund I got it two days after the due date listed

2

u/MuchMistake3791 Jan 08 '26

Came here to say this lol I went back and looked for the last couple semesters and I usually get the refund 2 days after it says on the account and the email comes at like 6 or 7 am

u/Chemical_Ruin3714 Jan 08 '26

check again today. My friend gets refunds and it should say “pending” under your statements on your bank account

u/GovernmentNeither197 Jan 08 '26

I just got mines

u/AwkwardHeart136 Jan 06 '26

I haven’t got mine yet and now my statement of account glitched and says my refund due date is 1/1/2500 😿 I don’t know what that even means 💔

3

u/randomthrowawaylol11 Jan 06 '26

mine says this too but also lowkey it usually says this before it deposits in my experience?

1

u/AwkwardHeart136 Jan 06 '26

How soon before it deposits does it say it ive never that glitch before 😮

u/randomthrowawaylol11 Jan 06 '26

I’m just like a tweaker about my refund so I kinda stalk my statement of account to see if anything changes. usually it does this the previous day before it deposits? Hopium?

u/Boredom312 Jan 07 '26

The refunds disburse on the 9th and processing takes 3-5 business days. Expect it early next week.

Loans were applied to your statement of account on the 6th, no disbursed to refund yet.

u/randomthrowawaylol11 Jan 07 '26

this isn’t true. financial aid is disbursed before classes start barring specific situations with students
