Verifying Your Enrollment
Westfield State University billing adheres to the requirements of and comply’s with S2248 PL 115-407, Section 103. All students using Chapter 31 VA education benefits, are required to ensure Veteran & Military Services has a copy of the 1905 from their Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor by the first day of classes. Students using Chapter 33 VA education benefits, are required to submit their Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits by the first day of classes. Students using Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 VA Benefits are required to submit a written request to confirm they want to use benefits each semester. All of the above are to be submitted to Veteran & Military Services.
Each semester, in which you would like to receive VA benefits, you should notify the Certifying Official of your continued enrollment and the number of credits you are taking. If, for whatever reason, you do not want to receive VA benefits, you must inform the Certifying Official of this fact.
Those receiving the Post-9/11 GI Bill® do not have to verify their attendance through WAVE. Your school certifying official is responsible for verifying your attendance with VA at the beginning of your term. You are responsible for ensuring that your school certifying official is aware of your enrollment, and any subsequent changes in your schedule
If you are receiving benefits under Chapter 30, Chapter 1606, or Chapter 1607, you must verify your enrollment each month with the VA via the Web Automated Veterans Enrollment (WAVE) system or you can certify via phone at 877-823-2378.
