With news of the government shutdown, we want to provide clarity for our student veterans and their families regarding VA education benefits.
We want to reassure all students using VA education benefits that your payments and benefits will continue to be processed without interruption during the government shutdown.
However, due to the shutdown, the GI Bill庐 Hotline (1-888-442-4551) will be temporarily closed. This means students and schools will be unable to call for assistance until normal operations resume.
Students receiving the state of Washington tuition waiver benefits will not be affected.
Thank you for your service and your commitment to education. We remain dedicated to supporting you throughout your academic journey.
If you have urgent questions regarding your benefits, please reach out to our office:
- Phone: 206-543-6122
- Monday – Friday 1pm – 4pm
- Email: veteran@uw.edu
- In-person advising
- Monday – Friday: 10am – 12pm & 1pm – 4pm
Veterans Crisis Line responders are continuing to support Veterans, service members, and their families via 988. Responders are trained in crisis intervention and military culture. Veterans Crisis Line (Dial 988, Press 1) will remain open 24/7.
