How will I be paid?

| Checks are mailed at the end of the month for the preceding month. Chapter 30 and 1606 recipients are required to complete an enrollment verification form monthly.
|
When should I expect my first check?

Can I repeat a class?
|
You may only repeat classes if:
- you did not make a passing grade;
- you made a D in the class but your major requires a C or higher. In this case, you must provide written verification on letterhead from your college to the Office of Veterans Affairs stating that a C or higher is required for major requirements to be completed.

Do all of my classes have to apply toward my degree?
|
| Yes. To receive VA Educational benefits, you must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program and all of the classes you take must apply toward that degree.
