You probably won't know until it comes up. That having been said, I've never seen a conductor ask to see the CharlieCard for any student, senior or disabled mticket. They'll usually check for active ticket and the zones you're traveling and move on.

Edit: Same goes for the CharlieTickets as well. But you'd have to get them from the ticket office and those guys will check.

Definitely call the dmf offices in Gloucester or New Bedford. Don't call the Boston office, they're in the process of closing it. Ask to talk to someone in permitting if you get shifted to another line, calls that don't get answered on main line ring everyone's phone so they get answered.

You might have gotten lost in the shuffle because they just shifted to a new permitting system and everyone is still catching up.

Buses you need to signal stops and above ground subway you need to signal stops. Also if you take the commuter rail, be aware of "flag stops". If there aren't people on the platform or you don't tell the conductor they will not make the stop.
