Informational Advisory:  Various sources report that the Veterans Administration is experiencing a backlog processing claims under the new Post-9/11 GI Bill program for veteran students. The VA began processing claims on August 1, 2009 for the new program. Backlog numbers vary from 57,000 to 211,251 claims. According to Keith Wilson, who serves as education service director for the VA, both of the two phases involved (responding to veterans’ initial requests for eligibility determination and processing enrollment certifications sent to the VA by colleges and universities) are taking an average of 30 days each to process as of August 18, 2009.
