Raven Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 When one receives Chapter 35 benefits, Do they only get the monthly rates posted on the web sight and then pay for school out of that or does the VA pay for the school and give the monthly rate as a living allowance (like Voch Rehab)? Thanks Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Raven-my experienece as a Chap 35er is that-I have had to pay my tuition in advance- then I email the VA college counselor and the VA Education counselor at the VARO a brief email giving my tuition as paid, the course name,my student ID #, Prof name- and also the length of course -accelerated or regular 4 month long. VA divides up the payments as they somehow determine the daily rate-the reimbursement checks usually have always come quickly. I dont really get how they figure out the rate at all- My tuition is usually 750.00 a semester and it seems to be covered by the VA. I get a book grant from MCA -I dont think (unlike Voc Rehab) any book grant is provided by VA for Chap 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one receives Chapter 35 benefits, Do they only get the monthly rates posted on the web sight and then pay for school out of that or does the VA pay for the school and give the monthly rate as a living allowance (like Voch Rehab)?
