What happens after I submit the requested forms to the VA School Certifying Official?

JMU's VA Certifying Official will process a student's request for benefits and within 5-8 weeks, VA will generate and mail an active award benefit letter to the student. 

Each semester while using the Chapter 1606 or Chapter 30 MGIB benefit, the student must VERIFY school attendance on a monthly basis. More information can be found at Verify Your Enrollment. It must be completed on the last calendar day of every month that the student attends classes. Failure to do so will result in a delay of payment for the classes attended the month before.
