Important Notice – Fall 2021 Remote Classes – Impact on Post 9/11 GI Bill® (CH 33) Monthly Housing Allowance

In accordance with the new House Bill S.3503 signed by the President and guidance from the VA Regional office, students using the Post 9/11(CH 33) benefit can still receive the residential housing monthly allowance if the residential courses have been converted to remote learning due to COVID-19.
