VA Payments

For those who are eligible for the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), your first payment may be delayed a few months, but you will be paid from the first day of class in which you are enrolled. You will receive a separate payment for books and supplies, if you are eligible. Because of this anticipated delay, all benefit recipients are advised to budget accordingly.
