When will I receive my first check? How do I find out the status of my payments?

New applicants should allow 8-12 weeks from the date your application for benefits and your certification of enrollment was processed by the college to receive your first check. You will be paid retroactively from the first day of class. Once you receive your first check, subsequent checks should arrive near the middle of each month. By setting up direct deposit, the monies are deposited the first week of the month.

Students may inquire about the status of a pending claim through the Questions and Answers website. Students may also contact the Regional Processing Office at 888.442.4551 (888. GI Bill 1).
