问题: 我入学了. 我什么时候能收到退伍军人管理局的福利?

答: 因为大多数学校差不多在同一时间开学, we are generally overwhelmed with enrollments at the start of a semester. It takes us about 10 to 12 weeks to process an enrollment during those times. 请耐心等待. We will process all of the enrollments in order by the date received. 如果你试图登录 网上注册自动验证系统(WAVE) system and either cannot log in or see that your record has not been updated from last semester, 我们尚未处理您当前的注册.

If you are receiving benefits based on your status as a service person, 经验丰富的, 或预备役, you must verify your enrollment at the end of each month in order to receive benefits. 福利在每个月的学业结束后发放. Verification can be done beginning the last day of the month by using our 网上注册自动验证系统(WAVE) or by calling toll free 1-877-823-2378 and using your touch tone phone. Both of these services are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. If you are receiving Post-9/11 (CH33) or Dependents 教育al Assistance (CH35), benefits are sent automatically at the end of each month with no action required on your part.

问题: 如果我正在接受教育福利怎么办, 我被征召了, 没拿到学分就辍学了?

答:

  • 您有权获得MGIB, MGIB-SR, VEAP, 或药物管制局的福利,直到你辍学为止.
  • 如果你是根据第10章(联邦当局)被征召的, we will restore the entitlement you were charged for the period that you received benefits when you send us a copy of your orders or DD-214 verifying service under title 10.

例如, 如果你在学校待了一个月,然后不得不退学, you keep the money for that period and we will add back a month to your entitlement for you to use at a later time. 如果你是根据第32章(州政府)被征召入伍的, 你没有获得权利恢复福利.

  • 如果你已经获得了过高的教育福利, we will postpone collection action if you are deployed to a combat area. 然而, once you return from a combat area, you may be responsible for any overpayment of benefits.
