Notify the UMBC VA Office of any Schedule Changes immediately.

•Changes in your major: A change in program form needs to be completed and submitted to our office.  If not completed, benefits will not be processed. 
For Chapters 30, 32, 1606, and 1607 Form 22-1995
For Chapter 35 Form 22-5495

•Program change (Change Chapter Benefits): Students must submit a new application for benefits and a current NOBE or DD-214 to our office.
For Chapters 30, 32, 1606, and 1607 Form 22-1990
For Chapter 35 Form 22-5490.

•Changes in semester course load (adding or dropping courses) must be reported to our office immediately by completing an Add/Drop form. Failure to report changes in enrollment may cause an overpayment or underpayment. Overpayments must be repaid.

•The Semester Certification Request Form must be filled out every semester. This provides our office with written documentation of your enrollment intentions. Failure to do so means you will not be certified by our office and therefore, will receive no VA benefits for the semester.

IMPORTANT—All students who are receiving either the Montgomery GI BILL Active Duty, Selected Reserve, or REAP MUST verify their enrollment monthly to receive payments. This verification can be done either by using the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) application or by using an automated telephone system (IVR) at 1-877-823-2378 and follow the prompts.
