When does the first Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) happen?

oct is what i heard. but agree, everyone is waiting to see what actually happens.

I imagine there'd be very few who managed to get the grace period waived so quickly in those first few months. Realistically, there will be a large wave around January 1 would be my guess, particularly when it comes to physicians.

Does anyone know when the first person will receive PSLF? Based off what I have read, October 1st 2007 is the first date that payments counted towards PSLF. Tomorrow, September 1st 2017, would be the 120th payment assuming eligibility and payments were made perfectly.

Previously, I had seen mid-September or mid-October as the starting date, but that only makes sense if there was an initial delay in processing or required waiting period prior to starting PSLF. Just interested to see how all of this goes.
