Some of you might see some money from us in your bank accounts today.
Individuals eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill and with a certified
enrollment period during August were to receive their first housing
allowance payment starting September 1st, 2009 (remember the housing
allowance is paid in arrears). It's recently come to our attention that some
housing allowance payments have been processed early and that some of you
might be receiving them in your bank account or by mail starting today.
If this happens to you please be aware that this is your allowance payment
for the month of August, and that your next housing allowance payment will
not take place till on or after October 1, 2009.

Normally, your months of entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill will be equal to
the number of months of entitlement you have remaining under the MGIB-AD. However,
if you use all of your MGIB-AD benefits, then you may be entitled to a maximum of
12 additional months of benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
