为使用9/11后GI法案®福利的学生提供的重要信息

Starting spring semester 2022, students using Post-9/11 GI Bill® 好处 will be required to verify their enrollment at the end of each month. Failure to verify for two consecutive months will interrupt the Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) and/or kicker payments.  请浏览 enrollment verification webpage 从美国退伍军人事务部获取更多信息.

A simple and convenient verification option is to sign up for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) text message verification.

Students who 不 have a US mobile phone number on file with VA will not be able to use text verification and instead be automatically enrolled into email verification system.

Another option for students who 不 opt-in for text is to call the VA Education Call Center at 888-442-4551 to verify their enrollment status.
