The Department of Veterans Affairs has made funds available for Veteran students who are still awaiting their education benefit claim to be processed.

Eligible veterans can receive up to a $3000 advance, which will be recouped from future benefit payments. If you are a student who applied for one of VA’s education programs and have not yet received your monthly benefit payment for the Fall 2009 term, you can request a one-time advance payment at your local VA Regional Office or through VA’s website at www.va.gov.
