When an Outreachy intern first starts, they are required to send in payment information and tax forms. If they do not send in the information and forms on time, their internship payment could be late.
Most Outreachy interns send in this information within a week or two of the Outreachy interns being announced. However, in rare cases, we sometimes have one or two interns who are accepted after the official intern announcement date. Those interns will send in their forms later than other interns.
The generic wording on the Outreachy intern dashboard that is shown to all interns can be worrisome to these late-joining interns.
One late-joining intern said this message was very confusing. They said, "My outreachy dashboard notifies me that I have not submitted my tax form and account details for payment yet I did four days ago." They were confused because they had sent in their information to Conservancy. They thought that this was a personalized message to them. Instead it was supposed to be a generic message to all interns explaining some of the reasons their internship payment could be late.
This message should be reworded to keep in mind that some interns may join Outreachy late. It also has to apply to interns who join just after the official Outreachy announcement date. Perhaps it needs to move to the Outreachy internship documentation instead?
