The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has made funds available for veteran students who are still waiting for their education benefit claims to be processed.
Eligible veterans can receive up to a $3,000 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 Web site.
