What happens with my GI Bill direct deposit if I no longer have that account?

I attended school last year and my GI Bill was direct deposited but I changed banks over the summer and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone when I called the VA to change my account. My first check is supposed to come in October. Will they mail me a check or am I going to have to keep trying to call?|||Why not make the changes 'on-line'

Question


How do I update my address and Direct Deposit information?





Answer


If you are currently receiving benefits or have received benefits in the last year, the WAVE online system is the simplest way to update your address and Direct Deposit information.





To update your Direct Deposit or address online:





1. Click here to access the WAVE web site, or cut and paste the following link to your browser: https://www.gibill.va.gov/wave/index.do





2. Click the tab that says "log in instructions" at the top of the page, and follow the instructions to log on to WAVE.





3. On the main menu page once you have logged in, click the link to the left that says "Direct Deposit Enrollment Form" or "Change of Address" depending on what you need to do. Both procedures can be completed online.





4. If you don't have access to WAVE, these requests can be submitted using the "Ask a Question" tab in the "Questions and Answers" section of the GI BILL web site.





To update your Direct Deposit or Address by phone:





You can contact our Direct Deposit center at 1-877-838-2778 to update your Direct Deposit information. Changes of address can be completed by calling 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551).|||You are going to have to call, or see if your school will try for you. The money would be sent back as non-deliverable because the account was closed. So you need to give them the correct information.
