GI Bill benefits are paid at the end of the month, and students receive their Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA), for the previous month. For example, you'll get your payment for October 1st to 31st in early November. Students using their Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits will be required to verify their enrollment at the end of each month. Failure to verify for two consecutive months will interrupt their MHA and/or kicker payments.
