Payments are typically dispersed at the end of each month or at the beginning of the new month. Contact the Dept. of VA for further information.
Payments can be made by cash, check, money order, or credit card. Contact or visit a Barton office to make payment.
Essential Information
ALL students are required to read the Student responsibilities, SCO responsibilities and SCO contact information. Failure to do so could create delays in certification and payments. For more information about Survivors and Dependent Assistance benefits, please visit VA website.
