Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Has anyone paid back tuition reimbursement

I want to quit so badly and I even have got interviews elsewhere but I’m held back by repaying my tuition. I have one more year for the two years so maybe I’ll just hang on til then. I hate this place so much.

Per my state law, can revoke authorization start that process now and don’t request any more reimbursement. Overpayments is also behind and can take 15 days to even respond.

If only you took those sweet sweet gov't loans. Took the money, don't want to pay it back. Either work the required amount or pay back what you took. Not very hard to figure out. Which is worse? Do the time, or pay up? If you couldn't pay it, maybe shouldn't have done it. Responsibility is a beotch.

@ay It is 2 years from the date the reimbursement was paid out. If you quit 12/2/25 you would pay back anything that was reimbursed to you after 12/2/23 (in the past 2 years).

If you got tuition reimbursement for 3 semesters, and they pay you out after each semester, different months/year. And you quit 1.5 years after the last reimbursement would you be paying back all the tuition reimbursement they gave you total amount? Or only the tuition reimbursement for the semesters that you did not give them 2 years for?

@ae I agree, they dock your last paycheck and put you on a payment plan.

I stand corrected. The question was about tuition reimbursement and not student loan repayment/ pay down.

@ad pay back sign on cash bonus, not tuition pay down. Unless you work in an area other than home and community care rules maybe different. If I recall they were giving 20k sign on or 40k student loan pay down. 40k paid out in 36 payments. If you only work say 20 months, they will make 20 payments and not the full 40k. You would not need to pay 20 payments back if it makes sense. Now 20k cash sign on is a different story since it’s upfront.

Yes, it is a rolling two years. So any tuition reimbursed within 2 years of your voluntary termination or fire date must be paid back. From what I understand, they start by taking your final paycheck, then put you on a payment plan for any remaining balance owed.

I don’t think you need to pay back your tuition since they pay as you go so to speak. Unlike sign on bonus that they pay upfront. To receive the full tuition repayment amount you need to work for 36 months since they pay it out over three years. Unless something changed there is no need to pay it back.
