22-5490) available on-line at
WWW.GIBILL.VA.GOV.
View education benefit eligibility
information, current rates and answers to frequently asked

Telephone Verification of Enrollment - Just call 1-877-823-2378 and follow the prompts. Use of this system
eliminates the need for the student to sign and return the VA

complete, you will not be able to use the system because no
monthly verification is required at this time. |
