Other Forms
| Advance Payment Request |
If you are applying for VA benefits for the first time, or you are returning to school after more than 30 days break between periods of enrollment, and you are planning to be enrolled at least half-time, you are eligible for advanced payment, (excluding Active Duty and Vocational Rehabilitation recipients). You must submit a request for advance payment, along with a course load summary form and application (if needed), to the Veterans Educational Benefits Office. You should apply at least 60 days prior to the start of the semester in which you plan to attend to allow the Veterans Administration sufficient time to process your request, and Advance Pay Requests will not be accepted within 30 days of the start of classes. Advance pay is a great way to offset initial costs at the beginning of a term. However, keep in mind that an advance payment includes the first partial month and the first full month of benefits. This means you will have to wait approximately two months before you will receive another payment from the VA. (Example: for Fall advance payment, you will be paid for August 28 to August 31 and all of September; and the next time you will receive a monthly payment is not until you verify your enrollment for the month of October).
