Dear GI Bill® Student,
Beginning with terms on or after August 1, 2021, if you are using your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit at a non-college degree (NCD) facility you will be required to verify your enrollment at the beginning of each month to receive your Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) and/or kicker payment.
You are receiving this email because we have identified you as a GI Bill student who recently used the Post-9/11 GI Bill at an NCD facility.
You will be able to use text messages as a simple, quick option for verifying enrollment to receive your MHA payment uninterrupted. To streamline the verification process, VA is encouraging students to sign up for text messaging. To do so, please contact the Education Call Center (ECC) at 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) to ensure VA has your mobile phone number.
All impacted students with a mobile phone number on file will receive an opt-in text beginning on August 1. After opting-in, you can simply reply to a VA text message to verify enrollment monthly.
Look out for more information on enrollment verification coming soon, including a video with step-by-step instructions and a website with FAQs.
By verifying that you are still enrolled in the same courses or training every month, you help avoid debts caused by changes to your training schedule and safeguard your GI Bill entitlement by preventing entitlement charges for training you did not attend.
We look forward to further supporting you as we launch this new process.
Respectfully,
Education Service
