SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
ADVANCE PAYMENT INFORMATION - Veterans and other claimants must complete Items 15A and 15B on Side A to request
an advance payment of education benefits. Upon receipt of a timely request and enrollment information, VA will pay the veteran or
claimant an advance payment of his or her education benefits. An advance payment is part of the first month and the second month’s
education benefits. VA will send the payment to the veteran’s school for delivery to the veteran or other claimant upon entry into
training.
ACCELERATED PAYMENT INFORMATION - Claimants must complete Items 16A and 16B on Side A to request an
accelerated payment. Only chapter 30, chapter 1606, or chapter 1607 beneficiaries (or beneficiaries receiving transfer-of-entitlement
benefits under these chapters) qualify for an accelerated payment. An accelerated payment can only be paid under chapter 30 to
claimants in a high technology program. (A list of high technology programs is on the Internet at www.gibill.va.gov.) An accelerated
payment can only be paid under chapters 1606 or 1607 for claimants pursuing a program to qualify for accelerated payment, the cost
of the program must exceed twice the amount of education benefits otherwise payable for that training.
