The Reserve bumped theirs up to that last year so we've been waiting for it for the Guard, but most folks figured it wouldn't go up until October (when the new fiscal year started). Just heard confirmation of the upping of the HPLRP via AKO. Looks legit, but it went up to $240K, not $250K.I just saw a memo from my CO that the loan repayment for Guard doctors just went up to 250k (from 120k).
Correct about $40K/year.My understanding is it's still offered in increments of 40k every year (don't ask me how 40k x 6 years = 250k), and if you are taking STRAP you are eligible for your first payment your last year of residency, if you are not taking STRAP then you are eligible your first year after residency, and it does delay your payback of any commitment for MDSSP or STRAP.
If you take STRAP, you can take it your PGY-3 year and above. So, yes, you can take it in your final year if you're in primary care. If you go into a five year residency, you can take it for your final three years.
And yes, you can not take HPLRP while paying back obligations to MDSSP or STRAP. You can take it while paying back your 8 year ASR MSO.
