Verify your attendance EVERY month with W.A.V.E
Students are required to verify their student attendance each month to receive their Chapter 30 payment. Go online to the W.A.V.E. System or call 1-877-823-2378. Each payment you receive is for the previous month. For example, you will receive a check the first week in October for attendance during September. It takes eight to ten weeks for new students or transfer students to receive their initial payment. The VA does not pay for the breaks between semesters.
