Qualifying Payment Count Incorrect
So I have worked for state government since January 2017 to present, but have switched around jobs and departments within the state government and each time I do I submit an ECF to have my payment count calculated.
I go to do this last week and my counts get updated and lo and behold, I am 120/120 payments. But how can this be? I start doing some digging and it turns out at my last job (which I left in 2018), they put my start date as October 2007. I have no idea why, or how that happened, or how I did not catch it before June 2026. I’ve always had Jan 2027 as my final payment month in my head
My question is: what if anything should I do? Do I tell them? Or should I just delete this post and go along with it? I am not going to complain about getting forgiveness a little early, but I don’t want this to come back and bite me.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! TIA.
