Monthly Verification
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

24 hours a day to Chapter 30 and Chapter 1606 students who choose

same advantage as the toll-free call along with additional benefits:
- You can check your student benefit status (term dates & training time)
- 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
