Q. Does the New Post - 9/11 GI Bill pay for more than 12 credit hour enrollment?
This question has not been answered by the VA at this time. We are hoping to receive an answer in the near future. Please check this page again for updates.
Q. Can I retake a class and still be paid GI Bill benefits for that class?Courses that are failed, or for which the grade does not meet minimum requirements for their major or graduation, may be repeated. Courses that are successfully completed may not be repeated with VA benefits. If students must take additional courses in order to raise their GPA, the courses must be ones that have not already been successfully completed by the student.
Q. Can I get retroactive pay for classes I took before I applied for VA Education Benefits?Yes, but there are limitations. VA benefits can be paid for enrollments up to one year before the date VA receives a student's application. The date-stamp on the student's application determines the one-year date.
Q. What is the VA payment rate for summer classes?
The VA pays education benefits for nonstandard enrollment periods based on credit equivalents. The school will report the actual number of credits and the beginning and ending dates of the nonstandard term. Please see this page for more information.
Q. Will the VA pay for national tests such as the GRE, MCAT, and CLEP?
Yes. The VA will pay for approved tests only. A list of the approved tests and the procedure for reimbursement is located on the GI Bill National Testing Program page.
