GI Bill payment delays are frustrating vets
Over half of vets still waiting for GI Bill money
VA working to resolve GI bill issues
Less than half of new GI Bill claims processed
So there's where we're at. These delays are apparently affecting all GI Bill claims, not just for the new one. Don't ask me why, I don't get that. Only reason I know this is because I applied for the old MGIB on July 7th, and I'm still waiting for my eligibility letter. This is bullsh*t.
The VA GI Bill hotline is 1-888-GIBILL-1, if you didn't know. I didn't. Not that it does me any good now, since my claim isn't on file (somehow) with their automated system, which prompts them to HANG UP on me instead of putting me on hold. The only way for me to get through to these people is to call them when they have an operator free, which should be sometime around the 7th of never. I'm going to try calling them tomorrow morning (0700 central time) right when the lines open and see if that works, but I'm not getting excited about my chances.
Good luck to all those like me who are waiting on the VA, and hope you have a nice emergency nest egg to ride this out.
