How long does it take to receive GI BILL money?

My husband applied for the GI BILL and hasn't received the money yet. Does anyone know how long it takes. Some of the other guys in his academy have received their money.

Update:

It sounds different than what you are all talking about. My hubby is supposed to have it deposited in his checking account and he gets it all. Its like $7500- or something like that. Some of the guys at his police academy already got it. The whole lump sum. And it doesn't go to the school. It goes to him. I just didn't know if these guys got it early or if there's a general guideline, like it might take the VA 3 months to distribute the money?

    I have used the GI Bill a lot of times and they send the money to your account after you finish the class and the school sends the grades to the Government.

    go to the veteran affairs representitive at your school and set up the GI Bill with them and you'll have to call in to verify monthly to get the money.

    The Government spend all our money on General Motors (now known as Government Motors), Chrysler and AIG. They are working on raising taxes so they can have money for their vacations. Your husband will get his money "Sometime in the Near Future" (according to an unidentified government spokesperson).

    Usually, it comes when you start school. You should go talk to someone.
