VA Reporting Delayed GI Bill Payments

The VA has reported that GI Bill payments for the spring semester are experiencing "longer than usual processing times". Many veterans whose spring term began in January are reporting that they still have not received any GI Bill payments for their schooling as they begin their midterm breaks. For its part, the VA apologizes for the delay and says the delays are due to high claim volume during spring enrollment season and installation of computer system upgrades. They also say that claims are being processed in the order in which they were received. For more details, see this Military Advantage post.
