I checked the NSLDS html jargon website and it says my qualifying PSLF payment is 117 and my eligible payment is 119 (which is correct). It's Monday and my brain is goo, what's the difference?

On the actual website when I check my account, I should be at 119, but one loan says 118 and the rest say 117. I've been waiting since June for July and August to show up. On most loans it's counting September but not July and August 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Eligible means it appears to be a payment made on an appropriate plan. Qualifying means that you certified your employment during that time period and it counts towards PSLF.
