Veteran Payment Policies

Veteran Payment Policies

It usually takes 90 days after the start of classes for your first monthly check to arrive. The funds will be sent directly to your home address, with the exception of Post 911 GI Bill (Chapter 33) and Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment VetSuccess Program (Chapter 31) students. After the initial claim is processed, a check will be sent at the end of each month for as long as the student remains eligible.
