SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
ADVANCE PAYMENT INFORMATION - Veterans and other claimants must complete Items 14A and 14B on Side A to request
an advance payment of education benefits. Upon receipt of a timely request and enrollment information, VA will pay the veteran or
claimant an advance payment of his or her education benefits. An advance payment is one month and part of a second month’s
education benefits. VA will send the payment to the veteran’s school for delivery to the veteran or other claimant upon entry into
training.
ACCELERATED PAYMENT INFORMATION - Veterans and servicepersons must complete Items 15A and 15B on Side A to
request an accelerated payment. Only chapter 30 beneficiaries currently qualify for an accelerated payment. An accelerated payment
can only be paid to claimants in a high technology program. (A list of high technology programs is on the Internet at
"www.gibill.va.gov".) Additionally, the cost of the program must exceed twice the amount of education benefits otherwise payable
for that training.
