Direct Deposit

[pacmanx1]

After receiving your award letter, wait two to three days and then call the direct deposit phone line. The number is 1-877-838-2778. They can tell you when your money will be deposited and they can even tell you the dollar amount. If you don't have Direct Deposit, they should be able to tell you when a check will be mailed to you. They will first ask you to verify who you are, current mailing address and current phone number Hope this will help. It's good to know when and how much you will get so you can start planning.

At what stage do you hand over your banking information? My claims is supposedly at the rater and I am 99% sure I never passed that info over?

[pacmanx1]

after you get an awarded rating, a letter from VA stating that you are entitled to $XXX.XX a month.

and this something requesting banking information?

I just see people always stating that the sometimes the money will be in the bank before you get the award letter. Making me think I missed a step.

Thanks Pete.

I provided VBA my bank account and routing number

on some form, a long time before even one of my claims was granted.

You haven't missed anything. If the VA doesn't have your Direct Deposit info they will just do the award without it and mail you a check. Once you get the award letter it will solicit you for Direct Deposit, and you can set it up at anytime. You can send in the info now, but if your claim is that far along I would just wait on the decision to do it.

Heck, when I filled out my first claim I used the on-line VONAPPS claim form and it asked me thereupon what was my banking information, so they had it from the git go.
