VA Announces Online Emergency GI Bill Sign Up - on Friday, October 2nd, VA's 57 regional benefits offices will begin providing on-the-spot emergency payments up to $3,000 to students who have applied for their education benefits but who have not yet received a government payment. Citing the distance many Veterans would have to travel to apply in person at a VA benefits office, Veterans can also apply online at www.va.gov, starting on October 2nd. The online application will guide Veterans through the process to supply needed information. Online applicants will receive their emergency payments through the mail after processing - see VA Press Release for more information. We have been made aware that some institutions have been hesitant to cash the checks often further delaying the tuition payment for the veteran concerned. These checks may not all be drawn as U.S. Treasury checks, but rather as regular checks from a US Bank.
The National Association of Federal Credit Unions has notified their member credit unions that these checks are valid despite the fact they are not Treasury Checks. Additionally the VA has advised that some student veterans may be having difficulties in cashing their checks at some banking institutions. If you know of anyone having this type of difficulties please let them know that the financial institutions of US Bank and Bank of America will cash their checks immediately and will not hold the funds until checks are cleared.
