Dear GI Bill® Student, 

You are receiving this email because we have identified you as a Post-9/11 GI Bill student who is subject to the enrollment verification requirement and does not have a mobile phone number on file.  

Your phone number is needed so that you can verify enrollment via text message on a monthly basis.  

If you are enrolled using your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits and receiving Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) and/or kicker payments, you are required to start verifying your enrollment at the end of each month during your term to receive your payments. To make the enrollment verification process simple, quick and convenient, and continue receiving your MHA payment uninterrupted, we encourage you to use text message verification.  

Please submit your inquiry through the Ask VA (AVA) system as soon as possible to update your mobile phone number on file so you can opt into text message verification. If you have not yet created a VA.gov account with ID.me or Login.gov, please watch our how to video and create your account.  

For more information on enrollment verification, including a video walkthrough and FAQs, explore the Enrollment Verification website.  

Respectfully,  

Education Service
