Unless she wasn't on an appropriate payment plan during residency, that time still counts. I'd look into it.

She wasn't on PAYE or any of the other income based repayment plans. You have to be on such a plan for payments to count.

The 10 year standard counts as well, if I remember correctly.

Basically only deferral or taking the extended 30 year plan don't count.
