22-1990 - Use if you are applying for VA benefits for the first time.

22-1995 - Use if you have used your benefits at another institution and would like to transfer to Liberty, as your primary institution or if you have changed your program (major).

3. Contact your academic advisor to discuss registration and financial check-in
Please remember that arrangements for the full payment of your tuition and fees must be made during the completion of your financial check-in. Within financial check-in, qualifying students have the option of using federal financial aid or payment plans.

4. Liberty will certify enrollment to the VA
Our VA Certifying Official will submit an enrollment certification (22-1999) to the VA after your course(s) activate. Once completed, you will receive email confirmation indicating the dates reported and current VA processing times.  The average processing time is 6-8 weeks.

5. VA processes enrollment certification and posts for verification
Once your enrollment certification has been processed, the VA will then post your enrollment information on the VA Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) system. 

6. Verify enrollment on WAVE
You will need to verify your enrollment on the VA system in one of two ways:

• Online—Go to www.gibill.va.gov and click on WAVE
  
  
• By Phone—Call the VA Verification phone line at 1-877-823-2378

Note: Your enrollment information will not post on WAVE until the certification has been processed by the VA. Verification will need to be completed on the first day of every month during the term to release the pay for the previous month.
