Using Your Benefits

Concurrent Enrollment

While receiving VA Educational Benefits, students may be concurrently enrolled at more than one school during the same semester. Whichever school the student is pursuing a degree from will be the Parent School. Students must obtain a Veterans Affairs Parent School Letter from the VA Certifying Official, or an authorized letter from the advisor at the student's Parent School. This form states that the courses taken at the Supplement School will be credited toward the current major the student is pursuing. Students are responsible for informing the Supplement School's Veterans' Office where their Parent School is located. The Supplement School will complete the certification for the benefits form (VA form 22-1999) and send it to the Parent School. To obtain a Veterans Affairs Parent School Letter please email cityva@sdccd.edu. 

Direct Deposit

Direct deposit of VA Educational Benefits payment is now available for Chapters 30, 33, and 35 recipients. This program speeds up education and work study payments. It also decreases chances of missing, lost, or stolen checks. The Veterans Affairs will require students to provide their VA file number, bank routing number, and checking/savings account number.
