Monthly Enrollment Verification - Chapters 30, 1606, and 1607

For students who are using VA education benefits under Chapters 30 (MGIB-AD), 1606 (MGIB-SR), or 1607 (REAP), you are required to verify your enrollment on a monthly basis. To verify your enrollment, you can use one of two methods:

  • Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (W.A.V.E.)
  • Calling the toll free Interactive Voice Response (IVR) at: 1(877) 823-2378
    • Please note that you will not receive payment until you have verified your attendance.
    • Your enrollment can be verified starting on the last calendar day of the month.

If you encounter any difficulties, please refer to the Department of Veterans Affairs W.A.V.E. webpage
