3. Registration and Payments
Students must complete registration of their classes. In the event the financial obligation to the institution is greater than the amount of the VA education benefit disbursement, the student will be responsible for paying the difference. No penalties will be imposed due to delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33.
It can take anywhere from 60-90 days for VA to process your claim for benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
1. How long does it take to begin receiving benefits after they have been initiated? New applicants should expect to receive their first check 8-12 weeks from the time the enrollment certification is sent. You will be paid retroactively from the first day of class. Continuing students should receive checks more quickly, provided there have not been any changes that affect your benefits.
