Safety notes

  • Do not enroll in a program before confirming it is approved for GI Bill or VR&E funding specifically.
  • Do not assume an apprenticeship pays the same benefit rate as a full-time classroom program.
  • Do not use benefit months without checking how many you have left and what happens if you switch programs.
