This week^^

Can someone confirm this please? Getting married Saturday and need the money for the honeymoon! lol

I mean no one can confirm this except SMART, but multiple past recipients in both recent and old forum threads have said the same thing multiple times and that was "Stipend payments come every third Friday of each month." This Friday is the third Friday of August 2017. I think that is as much confirmation as can be. If you get super antsy I noticed that the site visit payment showed up on the payment history tab from the awards page the day prior to it showing up in my bank account. So you can always check thursday, but that's not guaranteed.

On another note have a nice honeymoon and congrats on getting married! My two year anniversairy is this Sunday it's a good weekend to get married

I don't remember where I read it, but I saw it on some of our paperwork that stipends come third Friday of the month.

In your bank? Mine isn’t showing up in my account or on the Award Portal.

Can someone else verify?

Haven't received anything yet.

I have, but I have USAA so deposits almost always come a day early. I only revived the normal stipend and not the health insurance nor misc. supplies stipends.

I only got a penny is that normal

Got that yesterday

I had a penny deposited yesterday. Today I am showing my standard payment as pending. I do not see any of the miscellaneous payments...

Yeah that’s correct. They said we will only get a penny the first month.

I got a penny on the 15th

WOOO!!!! So happy I received my penny. Rent is gonna be paid and now I get to eat good for the rest of the month. :p

It doesn't. It's just a joke post haha. The one cent is to verify your account and to make sure it can receive direct deposit. The deposit probably won't show up on the SMART page until tomorrow. I'm sure all Deposits went out today for the stipend. I have no idea when they're doing the misc supplies tho.

The pending transactions for the misc and health allowances have popped up on my bank account, but I don't see the stipend anymore

All of the transactions are pending for me. Misc. and health insurance allowance are coming in on the 21st.

I got my stipend but haven't received any of the misc payments. I also have USAA. y'all should see it tomorrow hopefully.

Non-USAA folks should have received stipends. Question though, I have not received the supply expenses, but my payment history on the awards sight says I have. Should i shoot them an email or not worry about it until later?

The supplies stipends were sent after the 7pm cut off. We won't see them until Monday.
