There are different chapters of GI Bill, and I’m not sure if you are reserve or active component. As Whateverbites said, you will need to have an ebenefits account. I don’t recall what documents they need, but probably a NOBE (notice of basic eligibility) and DD214. As long as the military liason at your school is logging your hours and you are verifying your attendance in WAVE the money should be directly deposited within the first week of the month. I have usually found it beneficial to go meet face to face with the military rep at the school. Usually these people are great and will do whatever it takes to help veterans. Believe me, I am fully aware of the frustrations of navigating some of the veteran programs. But, you are entitled to these benefits and deserve them for your service. Keep on it and be patient. If you have questions you can send me a message, I helped a lot of the students in my guard unit navigate the educational programs.
