Promissory Note for Veterans Education Benefits
Montgomery College [MC] will not be able to “hold” your classes unless this form is on file along with
your Certificate of Eligibility for Ch. 33.
Name: ________________________________________________________________________
Initial each block:
GI-Bill Chapter 33 Benefits
☐ Certify my class schedule for GI-Bill Chapter 33 benefits. I understand that: 1) The VA will pay the
college a percentage of my tuition and fees if I am determined to be eligible for Chapter 33 benefits. The
percentage of my tuition and fees that the VA will pay the college is based on my active service time since
9/11/2001 as determined by the VA; 2) I am responsible for paying any tuition and fees balance owed to the
college if the VA does not pay 100% of my tuition and fees; 3) I must provide MC’s VA Coordinator with a
copy of my VA Chapter 33 Certificate of Eligibility as soon as it arrives. My VA Chapter 33 Certificate of
Eligibility will state my approved benefit percentage of payment.
☐ I am responsible for purchasing my own textbooks each semester. If I am determined to be eligible, the
VA will award me a book allowance based on my course load.
☐ I understand that the VA will pay me the monthly E-5 married BAH rate for Montgomery County as
long as: 1) I register more than half-time (7+ credits) in a semester AND 2) At least one of my classes is on
campus. I understand that NO monthly payment of BAH will be paid by the VA if I register for less than
half-time (6 credits and under) in the fall and spring semester.
ALL VA CLAIMANTS MUST COMPLETE THIS SECTION
Initial each block:
☐ I understand that I must immediately notify the MC VA Coordinator of any changes made to my class
schedule by me or anyone else under any circumstances (i.e. adds, drops, withdrawals, change of major,
etc.). Failure to notify the VA Coordinator may result in me owing the VA for an overpayment. I
understand that I am responsible for all debts resulting from reductions or terminations of my
enrollment even if the payment was submitted directly to the college on my behalf.
☐ I understand that I must attend all classes to the end of the term.
☐ I understand that I must submit transcript(s) from prior colleges/universities and military schools for
evaluation.
☐ I understand that the VA will only pay for classes required for my degree plan. Each semester, the MC
VA Coordinator verifies all veteran registered classes to confirm each class is required for that student’s
degree plan. I must notify the VA oordinator of any change to my degree plan within 24-hours of a change
being made.
