Delayed Monthly Housing Payments For GI Bill Students

The March 2023 Monthly Housing Allowance for Chapter 33 recipients failed to process. The VA is currently working to reconstruct the pay file to deliver to Treasury as soon as possible and it is anticipated EFT payments will reach Veterans by Monday, April 3, 2023 and checks will be mailed out the same day.

This failure will impact the timely delivery of the housing allowance scheduled for distribution on Friday, March 31, 2023.

The VA is mindful of the stress this may create for our student Veterans and their families. VA is preparing electronic communications to inform Veterans and provide them with a letter, which they can share with their creditors in the event this delay impacts their ability to meet personal financial obligations.

VA is also contacting schools to ensure they are aware of the situation and are prepared to provide any additional support that may be needed. VA will provide an update upon confirmation of the payment date and any additional information as it becomes available.
