GI Bill® students: a new Fall Semester is upon us! There's a lot to do, but don’t forget you have to verify your enrollment at the end of September!

All VA education beneficiaries must verify their enrollment at the end of each month to receive benefit payments. VA recommends text or email for your convenience. The earliest you can verify your enrollment is the last day of the month. As a reminder, two claimants cannot use the same phone number (or email) to verify enrollment.

Check the comments for a link to VA’s Verify School Enrollment webpage to learn more.
