Uncle Jimbo posted a blurb about Blackfive/WLF assisting veterans having issues getting payments arranged under the new GI bill. As an update, we've assisted some vets who'd written us asking for some help. We forwarded ALL of these to our contacts at the White House and DVA, but have yet to hear back from them directly. We've been assured that they were taken care of immediately. If you know of a veteran who's GI Bill payments have not been adequately addressed, please let us know- either thru the WLF page or here at Blackfive. The window for this assistance method is shrinking, and we'd like to ensure as many get helped as possible. This was the latest update we received over the weekend: I just wanted everyone to be aware that as of 4 PM today, we had a total of 14,301 checks issued in the Regional Offices and 10,605 requests submitted online. Please pass along that we have heard that some student Veteran’s had some difficulties cashing their checks at some banking institutions. The banking institutions of US Bank and Bank of America will cash their checks immediately and will not hold the funds until checks clear. Again, hit us up quickly. We want this fixed for all our vets ASAP. And thank YOU for your support! Wolf
