Pending Payment Rights

Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill or Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness and Employment Only

While Emory is waiting for your funding and if the amount of funding expected meets your tuition and fee charges, the following applies:

• You will not be canceled from classes for nonpayment.
• You will not be assessed finance charges (not applicable for any unpaid “nonmandatory tuition and fees” charges or outstanding balances of unpaid tuition and fees from previous semesters).

Any difference in the amount of the student's financial obligation to the university and the amount the student is eligible to receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs may incur an additional fee, or a payment/payment arrangement may be required to cover the difference.

In compliance with Title 38 United States Code Section 3679(e), Emory University adheres to the following provisions for any student(s) who are considered "a covered individual" using Chapter 33 Post 9/11 Gi Bill or Chapter 31 Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment US Department of Veterans Affairs benefits:

The university will not: 

• Prevent the student’s enrollment in classes
• Assess a penalty fee (late fees, administrative fees) due to delayed disbursements from the Department of Veterans Affairs under Chapter 31 or Chapter 33
• Deny access to any school resources, classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities that are available to other paid students
• Require the student to borrow additional funds for the length of time these provisions are applicable

The university will require students to provide the following documents to be considered a “covered individual”:

• An official “Certificate of Eligibility” or “Statement of Benefits” from the VA website or ebenefits [Chapter 33] or a VAF 28–1905 [Chapter 31] on or before the first day of class for the semester
• A completed Emory VA Benefits Enrollment Form
• Any additional documentation required to ensure proper certification of benefits 

Having met all requirements, the Department of Veterans Affairs will provide the university with payment ending on the earlier of either:

• The date on which payment from VA is made to the institution
• Ninety (90) days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees

Any difference in the amount of the student's financial obligation to the university and the amount the student is eligible to receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs may incur an additional fee, or a payment/payment arrangement may be required to cover the difference.

Please note that all eligibility documents must be submitted to the school-certifying official in the Office of the University Registrar.
