The stipend is paid out in a lump sum within a few months of when the trainee begins the program or advances to a new training level in the program and is subject to taxes and withholdings.

Trainees who have questions about their specific circumstance (i.e. program, year in program) and eligibility should discuss this first with their program director, who can then discuss this with the Designated Institutional Official (DIO).
