BofA here - also got paid

bless it just came through

I have BofA so they release it immediately generally

I really doubt it’s coming tonight, bud :/

I feel like it will end up being Friday (which sucks) but I totally agree that they need to pick a single day and keep to it!

lol but if you look back in the forum search sometimes it's been over a week late, as recent as 2016 or 2017 (looked last night, can't remember which). whyyyyy can't they just pick a day like the 15th and stick to that every month unless it's a federal holiday or something lmao my bank account is crying right now because of internship expenses

and i might have to go to my credit union and take out some of my savings temporarily just so i don't go into the red (I thought I'd be okay with airbnb charging me another 1.5k today, but since I haven't been paid yet....). luckily i never move money from it so i still have my 6 allotted transactions lol



praying that Papa DoD comes to feed us all tonight, pals

No. It’ll come before Friday. It always does.

Does anyone want to call them to verify if we're being paid this week? I've had to deal with them too much over the last week to want to harass them

I checked my bank account -- no stipend.

I was about to freak out until I came here and see that I'm not alone.

I havent been paid for stipend or internship. Sucks trying to plan for things and waiting.

It is the third Tuesday and still broke :(

I budgeted the month with the payment coming last week in mind, so I'm a little uneasy. Has anyone received anything yet?

they usually post on midnight on Tues for me, but I haven't gotten it yet either. sucks because I've had all these extra expenses for travelling to my internship location and I'm waiting on ISP too... I know per handbook date is technically 3rd Fridays but I've always had it clear on Tuesdays :(

Ugh, I feel this in my soul (and bank account). Mine usually clears Tuesday but I don’t have it either.

Thanks! I've been in the program for 2 yrs now too, but asking here is always more helpful because the scholarship coordinators never know and have to "ask the accountants," (code for: never replying on the subject again), or they just don't answer lol.

Thank you for easing my worry about having to contact them!

3rd Friday of the month is the specified time, the first day of this month was a Saturday so it's not till next week that we'll get it!

This month falls super late because the last few have been in the teens, but I've never not gotten it in the 3rd week since starting the program two years ago.

*ISP not SSP, lol. whoops.

Has anyone got their June stipend (+SSP if you're getting it) yet?

I wish they'd just pay us on the same calendar day every month, or actually be consistent with which week they do it. Last month I got it on the 13th. Even though it's been years of this, it gets old wondering if they've made a mistake every month I feel it's later than usual...
