I contracted with a $63,036 Army College Fund option in December 07'. The payout details in the contract assume you are using the Ch30 MGIB. How does the payout differ when using Post 9/11? Have tried to research this but have found several conflicting answers and most still assume using the MGIB. Is the monthly payout just added onto my BAH? For that matter, what IS the monthly payout amount? VA seems to use some fuzzy math to determine this, just trying to get a solid answer.

Please let us know what comes of this as I've been able to find absolutely ZERO documentation relating to this that didn't amount to hearsay or "Well I heard..."

I begin terminal leave December 14th and will ETS February 11th. I'm rated 100% on ch33 and will begin school January 12th in Tennessee. Because of this overlap I'm assuming that I'll be considered active duty and not receive the BAH portion and just the tuition? Do I just notify the certifying official of my ETS date and expect ch33 BAH for 11-29 Feb? Also the difference between my current BAH here at Bragg and Nashville is almost $400, will I have the opportunity to change my BAH zip code for the time im on terminal since Nashville is my EAD?

First time using Ch33 so got a few quick questions: 1) Was certified in VA-ONCE Dec 1, and ebenefits shows my January month as being deducted from my benefit months. Still haven't got any word of them paying the school, how long should this realistically take if I've been certified and deducted the benefits for knocking at 40 days? Need that excess financial aid to "pay my bills" (read: buy poo poo I don't need). 2) I'm currently on terminal leave until my Feb 11 ETS date. I already have my DD214 in hand and turned this in to the VA office at school. The girl at the desk (who I'm pretty sure is south of 20 and is probably not associated with the VA at all) said I was "good" and I asked her if I would get BAH for Feb 12-28. She gave me an "uh-huh". Doesn't exactly have me brimming with confidence. Is the DD-214 all that needs to be submitted to be re-certified as being off of active duty or do I need to do something else? Hopefully I can see the actual VA guy rather than taking some random girls word for it. 3) I qualify for the Army College Fund. On my original benefits application I specified this and submitted a copy of my contract showing that I qualified. Since I don't qualify for BAH since I'm still active duty receiving full pay will I still get whatever monthly benefit I'll get from the ACF (though I understand it's complete witchcraft whatever that payment ends up being) ?

front wing flexing posted:For 2 and 3 I can speak on personal experience. For number two, you will definitely get bah for Feb 12-28. However, you're likely to get back payed for it in April. Your march pay check may be for the entailment for Feb 12-28 or it will be zero in which case in April you'll get all of March plus Feb 12-28. Thankfully I had forethought to put away some money, as I see myself getting boned (and I WILL be the guy that gets boned).

So instead of receiving my usual $1970 for BAH this month someone seems to omitted a zero and I was paid out $197 instead. Estimated wait time on the help line is through the roof, waiting on them to call me back. 0 issues until now, I knew everything was going a little too well.

The rep said they send out 2 different payments since I had a break in between classes and that the 2nd payment is taking longer due to something on the treasuries end.

Has anyone had any luck appealing financial aid decisions? I've been awarded a piddling amount for my Pell grant this semester ($300) since it was based on my taxed income from last year on my FAFSA when I was still active duty. My financial situation is definitely much much different now however, especially since Ch33 benefits are not considered income to my knowledge. Everything I've seen says this is possible with the right paperwork, but that paperwork won't be available until September 10 according to the financial aid department for whatever reason. Am I hosed for this semester or do I stand a good chance at getting a full award? It's completely rear end-backwards because I qualified for a near full award last semester because it was based on my 2010 tax return (yay untaxed deployment income).
