FAQ
Eligibility for education benefits is determined solely by the VA. See the GI Bill website for answers to most questions regarding benefits. You can also call the VA Education Hotline/Call Center at 1(888) GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) to inquire about education benefits.
If you're enrolled in a college or university, you may be able to get up to $41.67 per credit hour, for up to 24 credits per year, prorated by the percentage of benefits you're eligible for.
If you signed up for direct deposit when you applied for education benefits, we'll deposit your payment into your bank account 7 to 10 business days after you verify your school enrollment. This is the fastest way to receive your payment.
