Advance Payment Request
The Office of Veterans Affairs strives to inform you of your options and the impact your decisions could have on the
funding of your education. While Advance Pay is an option provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, we want
to ensure you are aware of the timeline and challenges that may arise when you select this option. In order for your
classes to be certified for Advance Pay with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs please read, sign and submit this
disclaimer.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please read the following carefully:
The Advance Pay option for GI Bill® students is available upon request. However, the outcome from that choice could
result in a 4-6 week processing delay. As a result of this delay, almost all students who request Advance Pay do not
receive the advanced payment until over half-way through the semester.
Advance Pay payments are mailed to Lincoln University in check form because there is no direct deposit option for
Advance Pay. Once this check is received, it MUST BE picked up
in-person from the Office of Veterans Affairs located in Wright Hall, Room 101.
The Advance Pay Disclaimer must be completed for each semester you plan to request advanced payment. This is
required to ensure that the Office of Veterans Affairs does not mistakenly process out subsequent semesters under the
Advance Pay option without your prior consent.
