As a military veteran, it’s imperative that you play a proactive role to ensure the Post-9/11 GI Bill educational benefits you have earned are in fact received. The Post-9/11 GI Bill offers terrific benefits, but they are not automatic. The actions you take today will simplify the application process and help the VA expedite your benefits payments. I’m contacting you today on behalf of The United States Department of Veterans Affairs to stress the importance of completing all of the necessary steps to ensure the benefits you deserve will be paid in a timely fashion! Here’s what you need to do:
Check your eligibility online at www.gibill.va.gov
Submit your application VA Form 22-1990 or 22-1990E.
After you have enrolled in school, check with your School Certifying Official (SCO) to confirm that your VA enrollment certification has been sent to the VA on your behalf. This form certifies your actual enrollment period and triggers your payment. *Here’s a little hint: the school’s designated SCO will be found in the Financial Aid Department, Admissions and Records Department, or Registrar’s Office.)
And last but not least, enjoy the education benefits you earned!
If you’re planning to use the Post-9/11 GI Bill to attend school anytime this year, take action today. Please let me know if you would be interested in working together to ensure your readers are securing the benefits they are eligible for. For more information please visit: http://www.gibill.va.gov or text GIBill to 99702. And thank you for your service to our country.
