Benefit Payments

Click the following link to view current benefit rates: Benefit Payments

Remember to verify your attendance each month by visiting here or by calling the VA's toll free Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone line at 1-877-823-2378.

For each month that you are attending classes, you will receive your benefit payment the first day of the following month. For example, for the month of September you will receive that payment on October 1st. Please be aware that partial months of attendance are pro-rated. For example, August and December are pro-rated for the fall semester. If you turn in your Request for Certification after the deadline set by the VA Coordinator, it could cause your monthly stipend to not come on time.

Note: These types of benefits are sent directly to the student and are not paid to Baylor.
