Verify Enrollment Through Text Messaging

We encourage students to opt into text messaging, which is a simple, quick option for verifying monthly enrollment and ensuring you receive your MHA/kicker payments uninterrupted.

All impacted students with a US mobile phone number on file should receive an opt-in text message after being certified by the university. (Remember to submit your Certification Request Form to ovp@psu.edu.) You must respond to that text within 14 days. After opting in, you can simply reply to a VA text message each month to verify your enrollment.

If you opt out of text message verification or do not respond to the opt-in text, you will be automatically enrolled in email verification with the email address on file with VA.
