Your GI Bill Benefits Are Safe
VA will continue to pay
GI Bill benefits regardless of the change from resident to online
training to slow the spread of Coronavirus. Students will continue
to receive the same monthly housing allowance payments until
December 21, 2020, or until their normal school resumes.
