Monthly Verification

Post 9/11 GI Bill® (chapter 33)

If you’re getting VA education benefits through the Post 9/11 GI Bill®, you can verify your enrollment in several ways: the VA’s online tool, text, AskVA.gov, or phone call.

Online: Sign in to va.gov with your identity-verified account through either ID.me or login.gov and follow the prompts.
Text: When you first start program, the VA will send you a text asking if you want to verify your enrollment by text. If you respond “yes,” we’ll send you a text every month asking you to verify your enrollment. If you need to update your number, call the VA at 888-442-4551, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET.
Ask VA website: You can verify your enrollment through Ask VA. In your message, be sure to include the dates of your enrollment in school or training.
