***1 day of GI Bill pays for an entire semester***

For my Veteran Peeps that are running low on GI Bill entitlement. It is the VA’s position that if you have one day of entitlement (you can start the semester) they will pay the school for the entire semester and pay you your stipend for the entire semester! The VA enrollment counselor may not be aware of this. It is not written in their rule book for entitlement distribution. You may have to initiate a three way teleconference with the VA and your schools VA payment processor. How do I k is this you ask? I have 1-day if entitlement left and will be using it to pay for the entire fall semester of upcoming special master’s program. Also, do not forget about the upcoming changes to the Forever GI Bill on 1 August 2019. If you are doing a STEM program (which includes special master’s program and medical school) and are a Post 9/11 Veteran you can submit for a one-time 9-month extension of benefits. Those with little or no entitlement remaining receive higher priority for extension of benefits request. Scroll down to the “STEM” section when you access the link from the VA’s website for independent verification. Note: you cannot submit the request for extension of entitlement until on it after 1 August 2019.
