Section 1018 of Public Law 116-315 (referred to as Isakson and Roe) requires educational institutions to provide students with certain financial information and other requirements including a personalized shopping sheet. The REMOTE Act affords the opportunity for schools to use the College Financing Plan (CFP), available through the Department of Education as a means to satisfy the requirements of section 3679(f).
American University provides all admitted students with the College Financing Plan. This document is available in the Financial aid Hub of Eagle Service.
We would also like to provide some additional resources as you review your VA Education Benefits Eligibility:
Estimated Shopping Sheets Based on GI Bill® Type

If you have any questions about your VA Education Benefits, the Veterans Services Team is here to help!
By verifying that you are still enrolled in the same courses or training every month, you help avoid overpayments caused by changes to your training schedule and safeguard your GI Bill® entitlement by preventing entitlement charges for training you did not attend.
How to Verify Your Enrollment:
We encourage students to opt into text messaging, which is a simple, quick option for verifying monthly enrollment and ensuring you receive your MHA/kicker payments uninterrupted.
All impacted students with a US mobile phone number on file should receive an opt-in text message after being enrolled in your courses. You must respond to that text within 14 days. After opting in, you can simply reply to a VA text message each month to verify your enrollment.
If you opt out of text message verification or do not respond to the opt-in text, you will be automatically enrolled in email verification with the email address on file with VA.
For more information, contact your School Certifying Official or refer to the enrollment verification webpage where many helpful resources are highlighted, including Frequently Asked Questions.

New monthly enrollment verification option for students
|
In March 2023, we introduced online verification as an additional option for Post-9/11 GI Bill® students to verify their monthly enrollment. VA still recommends students utilize text verification as the preferred option to verify their enrollment. However, this new method will allow students to verify directly online at VA.gov as long as they have a fully verified account through ID.me or Login.gov. If students cannot verify through text or email, or their text or email link expires, this new option will allow students to verify directly online instead of having to call the Education Call Center. For more information on the online verification method head to the Enrollment Verification webpage. If your students have questions about creating a verified ID.me account, they can check out our step-by-step video on the process |
