Here are 2 ways to avoid VA benefit debt:

• Tell us right away about any life changes that may affect your benefits. These include changes like a marriage or divorce, a dependent who leaves school, or a new job that pays more money.
  Add or remove dependents for your VA disability benefits
  Update your VA health benefits information
• Keep your contact information up to date. This helps make sure that you receive any benefit letters.

If you get GI Bill or other VA education benefits, you can also take these steps to avoid debt:

• Contact your School Certifying Official (SCO) each semester. Make sure your certification matches your class schedule.
• Visit your school's financial office often to review your account. Make sure all charges and payments are correct.
• If you withdraw from a class, leave school, or make other changes to your schedule, tell us and your SCO right away.
