Once student-veterans
have completed their registration for the term they must complete a
"Veterans Certification" form (blue form)
and submit it to the Veterans Certification Office in 104 Neuburger
Hall. The Certification Office will notify the VA that they are now
enrolled at PSU and they may now begin the payment process. Most VA
education programs require that monthly payments go directly to the
student-veterans. Both Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits and Vocational
Rehabilitation benefits are paid directly to the school.
NOTE: In
order to receive benefits student-veterans must submit a
certification form EVERY term. NO FORM means no
certification, which results in NO MONEY.

Reporting changes in your enrollment
Any changes to
student-veterans' schedules (e.g. adds or drops) must be
reported to the Veterans Certification Office immediately. Changes
to schedules for which student-veterans were certified may have a
direct effect on benefits paid to them or to the university. Keeping
their schedules current with the certification office can prevent
overpayments and thus prevent future problems with the VA.
Monthly verification of enrollment required for some programs
Those student-veterans
receiving benefits under Chapters 30, 1606 and 1607 are required to
complete a monthly verification of enrollment with the VA before
payments will be released into their account. Monthly verification of
enrollment must be done at the end of each month and may be done
on-line at: Web
Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) or by
using the following toll-free number: 1-800-827-1000.
