How Do I Change My Direct Deposit for the GI Bill?

June 28th, 2010

I am currently receiving the Montgomery GI Bill and have it automatically deposited into my account. I want to know how to change my payment to go to another bank account ASAP. — Albert D.

Changing your direct deposit information for GI Bill purposes is very straightforward, and pretty user friendly. There are a couple of means of doing so.

First, you can use the WAVE system, which is the automated web-based system that you use to verify your enrollment each month. Once you log into WAVE, you will see a Direct Deposit Enrollment Form, which will let you establish or change the information to have your GI Bill payments directly deposited into your bank account.

If you have trouble reaching the WAVE page, you can call the VA’s toll-free GI Bill phone number (1-888-442-4551), or, even better, the VA’s Direct Deposit center’s number at 1-877-838-2778, and you’ll reach someone who can help you out.

    Great answer. I called the Direct Deposit Center to change my Post 9/11 benefits direct deposits. Was quick and easy.

    What if you’re only elligible for Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits? Is their an online form in order to make payments deposited directly into my account or must I call the VA’s Direct Deposit Center?

    Thanks!

    You can submit your Direct Deposit information by sending in VA Form 22-1990 (servicemember) or VA Form 1990-e (transferred benefits user) from the eBenefits website.
