Call them and ask-

1800-638-0824
 
I did and haven't heard back. Every time I call I have to leave a message.
 
Last year, which was the 1st year that I got it....the 1st check is retro-dated back to Aug..and was received on Oct 29....so it will be another 6 weeks....
Getting in touch with them is quite difficult....but my classmates and I all got it at the same time....
 
this year, rumor has it, it should go out mid oct. and is retro to June. That is rumor though...i'm not sure. Your schoo's FA deptl should have a number for their NHSC contact person...i found that contact MUCH easier to reach than through the 1-800 number.
 
I called and after a week or so, got an e-mail response. The checks won't be issued until the first week of Nov. and will include stipend payments for July-Oct., plus the book and travel money. Remember, the stipends are retroactive, so you get November's rent money sometime in December. Go figure. Book money may vary by school- mine is only $345- but my school's budget includes an absurdly small book allowance in the clinical years. I assume that the travel budget varies depending on how far your school is from your permanent address.
