      Hey everyone! I, like so many of you, am a PATHer who just wants my dang money. I figured since the best indicator of how things will go is based on the past years, I spent a lot of time poring over the forums from the past two years and I gotta tell you, while we feel like this year is more stressful and unique, it’s the same. Everyone felt the same, same worries and questions and issues.

      So the past couple years, the transcripts had 846 on the Friday after PATH was lifted. The DDDs were released the Saturday after. And those DDDs were overwhelmingly the Thursday after.

      If we all have hope in our hearts that it will go similarly, tomorrow we should not worry about WMR and should check our transcripts. Saturday WMR should show something. And within the week we will all be slightly richer for a short amount of time.

      All we can do is hope, stay positive, and don’t stress. As much as we can, anyway.

            So if you process Tuesday then there is no point checking tomorrow?

                          I really hope so too. And I thought about all that myself. Another week would be pure torture! Gonna be hard to rest tonight.

                            I did some similar sleuthing a while back, and noticed that same pattern. I am hopeful that it will be the same this year, and many seem to hold the same opinion.

                            My only hesitancy is the day-of-the-week pattern. Last year, transcripts updated on Friday, Feb 16th. This suggests that on Feb 15th, when the hold lifted, they started processing. And then the next day, Feb 16th, they updated to reflect the work that was completed the day before.

                            This week, if they release the hold on the 15th, that will be tomorrow, which is a Friday, and they will process them tomorrow. That would stand to reason that the transcript would update the following day, the 16th, to reflect the work that was completed the day before. Problem is, transcripts don’t typically update on Saturdays. Nor does WMR typically update on Sundays. Next business day? Tuesday, because Monday is a holiday.

                            We don’t have precedent to know what would happen after that. Transcript & WMR maybe update on Tuesday? Or Wednesday? Or worse, the end of the week for weeklies?

                            So I’m hoping with every fiber of my being that our theory about tomorrow is right…

                              Very true. I went back too. Same questions and reactions. I’m ready for path to be over just so we can have so answers on progress

                                Me too! How funny. I’m glad were thinking the same and came to a similar conclusion! Good luck

                                  Sarah, I understand. It’s possible I am off on my days lol. But it all happened in the immediate days following when PATH lifted. Within the week anyway! It’s really interesting to read back and see the same exact level of anxiety and the watching the weight lifted off people’s shoulders. I am sooooo ready!

                                      Maybe I read it wrong, if I did please forgive me. Anxiety took a crazy jump after chasing my dog down the street 😆

                                            I never received the Path message either. But I did get the 1541 code…

                                              From what I read a lot of people last year never got the message either, but if they had the credits, they still stayed on the same timeline. I truly hope that is the case!

                                                This is not true at all. PATH lifted the Thursday 15th. Transcripts with 864 Friday the 16th and WMR showed the DDD Saturday the 17th for that Thursday 2/22. You’re adding a whole week or more. Which wasn’t the case for majority.

                                                  I’m curious as to what happens if you claim eic and actc but haven’t received the path message..filed and accepted on 2/1
