Do I have to pay back the VA if I fail a class?

If you fail a class, the VA Certifying Official will contact you and your instructor to document your last date of attendance for the class. As long as you attended class for the entire semester, you will not have to pay the VA back. The following can result in an overpayment by the VA and require you to owe money back:
• Getting a ‘W’ grade (withdrawing from a class)
• Getting an ‘I’ (incomplete) grade
• Registering for, but not attending a class
