Verification
Am I responsible for verifying my enrollment?
Chapter 30 and 1606 students must verify their enrollment monthly by Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) or by Interactive Voice Response (IVR).
The preferred method is WAVE which allows students to verify their enrollment on the Internet at the Education Service website (www.gibill.va.gov). Click the link to WAVE. Students must be currently enrolled in an approved education program and must have a current benefit award to use WAVE.
IVR allows students to "phone-in" (877-823-2378) their monthly verification.
No payment will be sent until this done. REMEMBER to do this each month!
During the semester, what information do I need to communicate to my VA Certifying Official?
You need to notify the VA Certifying Official anytime you change your enrollment status by adding or withdrawing from class(es). You will also want to notify your VA Certifying Official when you change your address, phone number, major or pre-register for the following semester.
All students receiving VA Educational Benefits are required to attend classes. If you stop attending classes, these benefits will be terminated with an effective date of the last date you attended classes.
This could create an overpayment and a debt owed by you to the government.
Are there satisfactory progress standards I need to meet?
Students are required to maintain a 2.00 cumulative GPA to meet satisfactory progress.
If your cumulative GPA falls below 2.00, you will be placed on probation. You will have a probationary term (next enrolled semester) to bring your cumulative GPA up to the above standard. If at the end of the probationary term your GPA does not meet the 2.00 standard, the Veterans Administration will be notified and your VA funding will be terminated.
If you are terminated for unsatisfactory progress, you may again be recertified for educational benefits upon the completion of a subsequent term in which satisfactory progress is achieved. This term will be at your own expense.
