Telephone Verification
Students in all states who receive chapter 30 or Chapter 1606 education benefits are able to confirm their monthly enrollment via a toll-free phone number. This call eliminates the need for you to sign and return V.A. Form 22-8979 every month.

Calling 1-877-823-2378 offers several advantages:

• It is available 24 hours a day
• It allows V.A. to process education payments faster, thereby getting payments to students sooner
• There is no need to worry about lost forms or mail, and
• The call takes only a few minutes.

Online Verification
WAVE (Web Automated Verification of Enrollment) is available 24 hours a day to Chapter 30 and Chapter 1606 students who choose to confirm their monthly enrollment online. Online verification offers the same advantage as the toll-free call along with additional benefits:

• You can check your last payment issue date & monthly rate (based on full months attendance)
• You can submit a request to change your address on record if it is incorrect
• You can set up direct deposit for your educational benefits
• You can review frequently asked questions [FAQ] and ask questions of your own.
