No. In 2011, Congress passed a law that prohibits VA from paying MHA during school breaks. This includes breaks between semesters, quarters, and terms. Be sure to plan ahead to cover your
housing costs when school isn’t in session. If your enrollment starts after the first of the month or ends before the last day of the month, we’ll pay you a prorated housing payment for the
part of the month you’re enrolled in classes. NOTE: If you’re homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, we may be able to help. Call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at
877-424-3838 for help 24/7. You’ll talk privately with a trained VA counselor for free. Want to share more feedback? We'll use it to keep improving VA.gov for all Veterans and their
