Impacted Chapter 33 Beneficiaries Must Review and Change Payment Information

If you have a US mobile phone number on file with the Department of Veterans (VA), and you’re actively enrolled at an IHL, you should receive a text after Dec. 17 inviting you to opt-in to text verification. This is the simplest and most efficient way to verify monthly enrollment. To learn more, visit the monthly enrollment verification webpage.

No later than April 20, 2024, GI Bill® beneficiaries who receive another VA benefit and currently have two separate payment accounts will need to consolidate their benefits payments into a single banking account. For example, if a Veteran receives GI Bill payments to one of their bank accounts and disability compensation payments to another, they will need to select one account for all payments by April 20.

GI Bill beneficiaries can receive step-by-step instructions on how to update deposit information online at www.va.gov/resources/how-to-change-direct-deposit-information-for-va-benefits/.
