If I have any stipend payment problems, I should call the JALC Veterans Resource Office and obtain my certification ID. The JALC Veterans Resource Office WILL NOT be able to tell me where my stipend payment is, how much it will be, or why I have not received it. Once I have my certification ID, I can call 1-888-442-4551 to speak to a live VA Department of Education Representative. If I am told that they cannot find my certification, I can then provide them with my certification ID. If I am using Ch31 Vocational Rehabilitation, I need to call my Ch31 counselor directly; the STL Processing hotline will not be able to assist me.
REMINDER: Chapter 1606 and Chapter 30 users must verify their attendance on the last day of every month. I can do this by registering for and using my W.A.V.E. website or by calling 1-877-823-2378. My file number is my social security number.
CH33 Users ONLY: Effective December 2021 I must verify my attendance with Veterans Affairs the last day of every month that I am attending classes. I can do this by calling 1-888-442-4551, using W.A.V.E. website, or signing up for VA's text verification service. My file number is my social security number.
If I am eligible for any Financial Aid or Scholarships (Pell Grant, MAP Grant, Mantracon, etc.)my Bursar’s Bill must have a balance of zero before I receive a refund.
If I have not turned in my eligibility letter for any benefit that covers my tuition and fees, my Financial Aid or Scholarship will be used until it is received. I will receive a refund once I turn in my eligibility letter.
There are 100% drop dates and withdraw dates that I need to be familiar with because they can affect the benefits I use. They can be found on the JALC Instructional calendar on the www.jalc.edu website.
I MUST TURN IN MY SCHEDULE EVERY SEMESTER IN ORDER TO BE CERTIFIED.
If I do not receive and email from a student worker or staff member after I submit this within 2 business days, I need to call the office to make sure it was received. 618-985-2828 EXT 8563
