The
Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing advance educational
benefit payments to Veteran-students in the form of US Bank
business checks. These emergency checks are issued in amounts
not to exceed $3,000 for Veteran-students who have
applied for educational benefits and who have not yet received
their VA payment. For further information click on the link

The Department
of Defense (DoD) is now accepting applications for transferability
of education benefits (TEB) under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
For the first time in history, service members enrolled in the Post-9/11
GI Bill program will be able to transfer unused educational benefits
to their spouses or children starting Aug. 1, 2009.
While
the Post-9/11 GI Bill offers a very generous post-service
education benefit, a special provision of the program allows
career service members the opportunity to share their education
benefits with immediate family members. Allowing career service
members to transfer their GI Bill benefits to family members
has long been one of the most requested items among military
family readiness and advocacy groups. The department has established
the policies and procedures for this important new program.
These policies and procedures are described in the link below:
Unofficially
referred to as Spouse Tuition Assistance, the Department of

Accounts (MyCAA) program can provide up to $4,000 of
Financial Assistance for military spouses.
