St. Edward's University can help educate and assist students using GI Bill® 好处 and administrate those 好处 without creating additional hurdles to academic success. Here are frequently asked questions about veteran 好处.
Are VA Educational Benefits Taxable?
No. Any veterans’ 好处 paid under any law administered by the Department of 退伍军人事务部 (VA) should not be reported as income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You will not receive a W-2 from the VA.
How do I find out the status of my payments?
联系 the GI Bill Education Hotline, 888-442-4551, after you have been certified for the semester in question.
How much money will I receive?
- GI Bill® Recipients: Please consult the Department Of 退伍军人事务部 for benefit pay charts.
- Chapter 31 Recipients Subsistence Allowance
For more specific information contact the Department of 退伍军人事务部 at 888-GIBill-1 (888-442-4551).
Will I automatically receive 好处 next semester?
No, we must receive a "Request to be Certified" from the student specifically asking to use GI Bill® 好处 each semester they intend to utilize the benefit.
Do I have to report all changes in my schedule (add/drop)?
No, our office runs a weekly report to determine who has added or dropped a class. 然而, if you withdraw from a course but plan to replace it, you must let the VA office at SEU know. It is also encouraged that you reach out to our office regarding a withdrawal due to mitigating circumstances.
Are there financial consequences related to my VA benefit if I drop a course?
是的. If your coursework has been certified and you alter your enrollment, we will review your schedule to verify all courses are eligible for educational 好处. If our review results in a change in status, we will report the change to the VA. The VA may determine they have overpaid you 好处 for that semester and request repayment. Repayment may include tuition, fees, book stipend, BAH, and yellow ribbon.
Before dropping a course, contact our office for detailed information about how it may affect your benefit.
Can I get credit for my Military Training?
是的. Once we receive your military transcript, the Office of the Registrar will evaluate it for possible credit. St. Edward's uses the American Council on Education (ACE) guide when assessing military transcripts. Note - 研究生-level work is not awarded based on military transcripts.
Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard may order the Joint Service Transcript.
Air Force may order the Community College of the Air Force Transcript or write to Community College of the Air Force Office of the Registrar, 130年西, Maxwell Air Force Base, 36112年阿拉巴马州
How do I self-verify if I am using Chapter 1606 or 30?
每月 自我验证 of Enrollment must be filled out online via the WAVE system.
