I intended for my benefits to pay my bill but I still have a balance – Why?
Every semester that you intend to use Benefits to include GI Bill®, Other VA education benefits, or Hazlewood you must submit a Request for Certification of benefits to the SAC-VA office prior to the payment deadline if you use a benefit that covers tuition and fees (Post 9/11 GI Bill®, Veterans Employment & Readiness, or Hazlewood). REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATION
VA benefits and Hazlewood do not cover penalty fees such as 3Peat fees, so please see your advisor if you have a balance after submitting your request for certification.

I am military affiliated and using a benefit that does not pay 100% of my tuition and fees – What do I do?
- It is the student’s responsibility to review their student account and pay your balance.If you are using a benefit that does not pay your bill in full, you have the option to submit a DEFERMENT. You must be eligible for Tuition Assistance, MyCAA, VA Education Benefits, or Hazlewood in order to be eligible for this deferment.
A deferment will waive your payment for the first 60 days of the term. You are still responsible to pay your bill in full by the end of the first 60 days of the term. You may not take an additional deferment for a subsequent semester until you pay your current balance in full.
- You also may enter into a payment plan, which will split your account balance into manageable payments until you receive your benefits.PAYMENT PLAN Remember that “making a payment” is not the same thing as creating a “Payment Plan”. If you have an outstanding balance, you may not enter into a new payment plan until you pay your past-due balance in full.
- All students are encouraged to submit a FAFSA to apply for federal financial aid.
