4.20.24 proposed deadline: The education business at VA is migrating their direct deposit functionality into the same backend that supports the comp & pen direct deposit information. They are starting with Chapter 33 (GI Bill) benefits, and then migrating the other education benefits over a number of years.
As a Veteran, I'm informed that updating direct deposit account info in the mobile app will impact disability compensation, pension benefits, and education benefits.
