Thanks for posting, leave for Thailand this summer to study on Post 9/11. Thanks for the info in the VBA 22-1999. Does the VA rep at the school sign off on the form?
To my understanding the VA rep needs to sign the VA 22-1999. Ensure that your have all your shots and that you take care of your visa before you are on ground. Lastly, ensure that your degree plan is approved. The school might be approved but not your degree of choice.
I went to the VA's WEAMS site and made sure it was approved. What do you do during tax season? Do you have to file taxes as a full-time student overseas?
BPD1586 For taxes I recommend having an accountant because if you look on the back of your passport it says that you ate still responsible for taxes even if you don't reside in the US.
How long u have to wait till GI bill starts?im in Philippines bro and the school I’m in is so slow in terms of processing paperwork’s. I started school already and they haven’t finish what the VA asked them to submit.
Bro, great question. Check with the VA rep at the school and if need be, have them call the VA education office at Buffalo NY (be present). My experience was that the VA needed some paperwork and once the school did their part I got back paid. As soon as the VA gets what they need (by law) you will get direct deposit and the school will receive a paper check. Stay on your school weekly or daily depending on how proactive they are.
Post-9/11 GI Bill: while attending a foreign school, the tuition will be paid up to the annual maximum reimbursement rate, currently $27,120.05 yearly for 2023-2024 academic year. However, with the Montgomery you WILL NOT receive BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) NOR the book stipend of a $1,000 each academic year. This is why I stress to get your disability compensation done before traveling in case there are payment delays due to administrative errors (it happened to me and two other classmates).

Oh wow I’m doing the same thing to Thailand! How much is the BAH in Bangkok? I looked online but I got 2 different answers: $1833/mo and $2840/mo
Just moved to Mexico, flat rate bah is 1650.00 now
Is that the flat rate for overseas? Or just Mexico?
what university did you attend?
I guess my question is, how do you know if the VA will cover the tuition costs for uni abroad

Hey man can you help me , I’m stationed in Germany and I’m trying to move to Berlin and go to school , I need help
UA-cam didn't send me a notification of this message. I will come back in two weeks to send the information that I research.
How do we figure out what pays we get and what gets covered?
Tuition gets paid directly to the school and BAH gets paid directly to you.
For a place like Berlin, what was the BAH rate?
Can I use VocRehab to study abroad?!
That I do not know. Check with your Vocab rep.
Efrain Arias: How about BAH on post 9/11? Based on my research, it's around 1600$ monthly. True?!
159456176 it's true, if you are attending for bachelor degree.
how about montgomery?
