⚠️ November 6 - Important Notice: Government Shutdown & VA Payment Delays

Federal Funding Interruption & VA/Military Education Benefit Delays

Due to the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, some education benefit programs are experiencing delays in processing and support availability, including:

• Chapter 31 – Veteran Readiness & Employment (VRE)
• Chapter 33 – Post-9/11 GI Bill®
• Chapter 35 – DEA / Survivors & Dependents
• Ohio National Guard Scholarship Program

These delays may affect the timing of tuition payments or monthly housing stipends issued directly by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the State of Ohio.

Important Message from Student Enrollment Leadership

CSU will not penalize students whose VA or military education benefits are delayed due to the shutdown.

That means:

• No late fees
• No class cancellations or drops
• No negative account actions
  …as long as you remain enrolled in the Veteran Payment Plan.

We know these delays are outside of your control — CSU is committed to keeping you enrolled and supported.

What You Can Do Right Now

✅  Be sure you are enrolled in the Veteran Payment Plan (required to remain protected)

VA Support Availability

Some VA support lines and processing centers are currently limited due to federal furloughs.

We will continue to share updates as federal services resume.

Thank you for your patience — and for your continued service.
— CSU Veterans Center Team
