Q: What time period does this payment cover?
A: If you are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill and you are enrolled in an online course, you will receive a percentage of the tuition and fees for the course. The percentage you receive is based on the number of credits you are taking and whether or not you are enrolled in a degree-seeking program.

You may have to repay VA for dropped courses or classes that you stop attending. Please contact the Veteran Services Office prior to dropping a course.
BENEFITS AND ENROLLMENT FAQS.
Q: How does a change in my enrollment impact my VA Educational Benefits?
A: If you are receiving VA benefits, you must report any changes in your schedule to the Military and Veterans Success Center. If you do not report changes, you may have to repay the VA.
Q: When will I be able to register for classes?
A: Make an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss your registration for the upcoming semester. This will ensure that you are prepared to register for classes when priority registration opens.
Q: How many months of VA educational benefits do I have left?
A: You can find out how much of your benefits you have left by going to the VA eBenefits website or by calling the VA Student Helpline.
Q: When will I start to receive my VA educational benefits?
A: It can take a long time for the VA to process your benefits. Be prepared to pay your own tuition and fees up front, and be reimbursed later.
Q: What will I receive?
A: If you are a Post 9/11 GI Bill® recipient, you should receive both a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) and a Book Allowance. Students using other types of GI Bill® benefits will receive one monthly payment, out of which you will need to pay your expenses, including books and tuition.
BILLS, REDUCED ALLOWANCE, AND CERTIFICATION AMENDMENTS EXPLAINED.
Q: Why am I still getting a bill from the school?
A: You will continue to get a bill from the school until all charges are paid.
Q: Why is my Monthly Housing Allowance (Post 9/11 GI Bill® only) so much less if I am taking online classes?
A: The Post 9/11 GI Bill® pays a different rate for students who are enrolled entirely online. The rate is ½ of the national average. Unfortunately, students who are taking a combination of on-campus (resident) and online (distance) classes sometimes also get caught by this requirement if they are only attending online classes for a portion of the semester. Hybrid classes count as resident classes.
Q: Why do I keep getting emails saying that the school has amended my certification?
A: If you've added or dropped a class, you will need to submit a new CRF to notify our office of the changes. If none of those apply, it is probably just a notification that we have completed your Dual Certification.
PAYMENT AND CERTIFICATION STATUS INQUIRIES.
Q: Why haven’t I received my monthly payment?
A: If you submitted your CRF before the deadline, and you are still in school, you may need to do your monthly self-verification.
Q: Why is my monthly payment less than the full amount?
A: If the semester is less than 30 days, VA will pay you based on the number of days in the semester.
Q: Why haven't I been certified yet?
A: You must notify your VA Rep that you plan to attend the upcoming term, and make sure you have your class schedule set before you request to be certified. Changes in enrollment may impact or delay your eligibility.
