Welcome Veterans

VA update for Post 9/11 GI Bill Beneficiaries regarding modality changes for enrollment terms due to COVID-19

 

Based on the new law, Post 9/11 GI Bill students who pursue resident courses converted to an online modality solely due to COVID-19 will continue to receive the MHA/BAH rate for resident training. The law only authorizes this special authority from March 1, 2020, to December 21, 2021.

Veterans Services Office will be working remotely to provide services. We want you to be aware of some options for receiving service from the Veterans Services Office. You can reach us by emailing, or viewing our content and updates on this site.

We know you may need to submit forms, documentation, or other paper documents during this period, and have identified some options to help. If you do not have access to a scanner to scan your SRA’s or any other documentation that will need a signature, we will accept a form as signed if submitted directly from your SFSU student email account. 

 

Note: Other types of changes to the student's enrollment status may affect payments. Non COVID-19 related changes must still be reported per normal requirements.
