Important Update About Your March Monthly Housing Allowance
Veterans Benefits Administration sent this bulletin at 03/31/2023 11:36 AM EDT
Dear GI Bill® Beneficiary,
The Post-9/11 GI Bill Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) payment for the end of March may be delayed by approximately one business day, due to an unexpected systems issue. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizes the importance of the MHA and is working diligently to ensure your MHA disbursement posts as soon as possible.
For those with direct deposit, there is a possibility that the MHA payment could post at financial institutions by late Friday (March 31) or Saturday (April 1). Hard copy checks will be distributed expeditiously.
VA apologizes for any inconvenience this payment delay may cause on personal finances. The attached letter may be used for sharing with banking institutions or creditors as necessary, to alleviate negative repercussions.
VA is aware and working on this matter as a top priority. Future updates will be shared as new information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Joseph Garcia, Executive Director
Education Service
