If you promptly notify the 糖心Vlog官方 Veterans Affairs Office of changes affecting your benefits (such as dropping a class or withdrawing from school), you can prevent or reduce overpayments.<br><br>In addition, you should use reasonable judgment. Carefully read all letters from the VA about the monthly rate and effective dates of your benefits. If you think a VA payment is incorrect, contact the VA Regional Office at 1-888-442-4551.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mtsu-blocks-expandable-item accordion-item expandable-heading expandable-heading-lightblock\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"headinggeneral-guidelines-to-follow-once-you-have-enrolled\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapseoverviewblock2general-guidelines-to-follow-once-you-have-enrolled\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseoverviewblock2general-guidelines-to-follow-once-you-have-enrolled\">General Guidelines to Follow Once You Have Enrolled<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapseoverviewblock2general-guidelines-to-follow-once-you-have-enrolled\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse expandable-content expandable-content-lightblock\" aria-labelledby=\"headinggeneral-guidelines-to-follow-once-you-have-enrolled\" data-bs-parent=\"#overviewblock2\"><div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-compact-list\">\n<li>VA benefits are based on the number of certified credit hours a student is registered for and attending.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In order to receive your full housing allowance, you must be attending full-time and taking at least one on-campus course each term.&nbsp;&nbsp;WARNING to students participating in ACCELERATED CLASSES: Once your accelerated class is complete, that class&nbsp;no longer counts in the number of hours you are currently attempting.&nbsp; This change could impact your rate of pursuit and ultimately your BAH.&nbsp; If the&nbsp;accelerated class is the&nbsp;only on-campus course you take, this too will affect&nbsp;BAH. &nbsp;(There are special conditions for Summer School and full housing allowance.&nbsp; Please see the Daniels Center staff to discuss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VA will not pay for any courses for which you have previously been given credit through military service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must submit the member 4 copy of your DD FORM 214 and your JST for evaluation to the&nbsp; 糖心Vlog官方&nbsp;Transition Manager by the end of the first semester of attending 糖心Vlog官方 (Airforce service members\/veterans will not have a JST.
