GI Bill Update (New Monthly Enrollment Verification Requirement)

Beginning with terms starting after December 17, 2021, students using their Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits at an Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) facility will be required to verify their enrollment at the end of each month. Failure to verify for two consecutive months will impact their Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) and/or kicker payments. UW Tacoma's Chapter 33/ Chapter 33 TOE Students will continue to do the quarterly certification request through our office, then at the end of each month, the students will verify their enrollment through the VA. Students can call this number, 1-888-442-4551, to verify that their phone number is on file.

GI Bill Update (COVID-19)

UW Tacoma received an important update about the GI Bill concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. You can view the full text by clicking the link below. Note: This law extends the various COVID-19 protections for GI Bill students from December 21, 2021, to June 1, 2022. In part, this means that students who were attending a course that was converted to online training because of COVID-19, and were getting paid the resident rate, may continue to train online, and will continue to receive the resident housing rate until June 1, 2022.
