Hello veterans of Yuba & Sutter Counties. Please join me in seeking out veterans in skilled nursing facilities around our nation. Become their pen-pal, visit them if they are local (once we are free of the pandemic of course). Just reach out. Imagine their loneliness. No visitors right now, and in some cases, no visitors EVER. You are welcome to write to this gentleman if you’d like. ❤️

Did you know there is an easy petition process to change your Withdrawal to an Excused Withdrawal (EW) during the COVID 19 pandemic?

Why should you consider an EW? Two big reasons:
An EW will not be counted towards your 3 attempts in a class and if you paid for your classes out of pocket, you may be eligible for a refund.

View our COVID-19 Excused Withdrawal Process flyer that provides you the two steps you would need to take to request an EW. It's very easy!

We are here to support you. Be safe 49ers!

US Department of Veterans Affairs

Student Veterans will continue to receive their GI Bill benefits under S. 3503, which President Trump signed into law March 21.

The law enables VA to continue providing the same level of education benefits to students having to take courses online due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The law gives VA temporary authority to continue GI Bill payments uninterrupted in the event of national emergencies. This allows for continued payment of benefits even if the program has changed from resident training to online training.

Thanks to the law, GI Bill students will continue receiving the same monthly housing allowance (MHA) payments they received for resident training until Dec. 21, or until the school resumes in-person classes.

In the wake of COVID-19, thousands of students nationwide have been converted to distance learning as many educational institutions are transitioning to technology-based lesson delivery.

“I commend President Trump and Congress for their work on this important law,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “It will give Veteran students certainty as they continue their education.”

Students receiving GI Bill benefits are not required to take any action. Benefits will continue automatically. VA will work closely with schools to ensure accurately certified enrollments and timely processing. Updates will be provided to students via direct email campaigns and social media regarding VA’s effort to implement these new changes.

Students with specific questions can contact the Education Call Center at: 888-442-4551 between 8 a.m.-7 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday-Friday.
