Can I get a GI Bill payment in advance?

Answer

This depends on which GI Bill program you’re using. 

If you’re using the Post-9/11 GI Bill, you can’t get an advance payment.

If you’re using a GI Bill program other than the Post-9/11 GI Bill, you may be able to get an advance payment. You’ll need to meet all of the requirements listed below. 

You must:

  • Have an advance payment request on file at your school, and
  • Be attending school at least half time, and
  • Have a break of at least 30 days before the start of the term

Note: We must receive your enrollment certification at least 30 days before classes start.
