MESSAGE FOR STUDENTS IN RECEIPT OF POST 9/11 GI BILL®

Update for Post 9/11 GI Bill® Recipients and VR&E students receiving Post 9/11 GI Bill® Housing:

As of June 01, 2022, COVID-19 legislation that permits you to receive the Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) at the resident (in person) rate, while taking approved courses converted online training due to COVID-19 has ended. You will no longer receive the MHA at the resident (in person) rate for classes taken online (distance learning). When enrolling for courses after that date or any subsequent term, you will need to enroll in approved resident (in-person) classes to continue receiving your MHA at the in-resident rate. Otherwise, you will receive the online rate (half the national average).

For course enrollment at the University of Redlands, courses designated as Remote Campus, Hybrid, or Online are considered distance learning; non-resident (not in person). Courses designated as On-Campus, Lecture, On-Ground are considered in-resident.

including but not limited to access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities due to 

the delayed disbursement of payment by the VA – in which the student provides to the educational institution 

a Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits for entitlement to educational assistance under


VA Survivors and Dependents Educational (Chapter 35) 

Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31)

Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33)

Public Law 116-315, Section 1010

Effective August 01, 2021

Schools are now required to certify Post 9/11 GI Bill® student’s enrollment at the beginning of the semester and after the add-drop date.

  • Initial enrollments submitted prior to each semester / course start date
  • MVS will submit zero tuition and fees to the VA for processing of monthly housing allowance and book stipend 
  • The MVS office will amend the student enrollment, submitting tuition and fees to VA for processing of tuition and fees after the add-drop date
  • this will satisfy the second certifying mandate under P.L. 116

If a student applies to utilize their benefits after the add-drop date, the MVS office will submit the initial enrollment with tuition and fees and submit the second enrollment certifying the beneficiary’s enrollment after 48 hours. 

Beware – if courses have different start and end dates, add-drop dates will vary, so tuition and fee submission and payment dates will vary. 

Public Law 116-315, Section 1019

Schools (instead of students) are now responsible for the return of any tuition and fee overpayment within an established timeframe based on several reasons, ie, reduction in student enrollment. The payment may be more than, less than or equal to the amount crediting to a student’s account based on the school withdrawal and refund policy. UofR has the right to bill the student, if the debt is more than the credit balance the student currently has on their account.  A notification will be sent to the student regarding the charge. 

It is the student’s responsibility to make a payment in a timely manner.
