*IMPORTANT NOTICE*

Due to COVID-19 concerns, Rio Hondo College Veterans Service Center staff are working remotely. We are sorry for any inconvenience this creates.  If you need to contact the Veterans Service Center, please send an email with your name, Rio Hondo College ID Number, and a short description of your concern to veteranscenter@riohondo.edu .  We ask for your understanding, as responses may be delayed during this challenging time.  We will be monitoring our office email account and we will do our best to respond as quickly as possible.

Student Veterans will continue to receive their GI Bill benefits under S. 3503, which President Trump signed into law March 21.  The law gives VA temporary authority to continue GI Bill payments uninterrupted in the event of national emergencies. This allows for continued payment of benefits even if the program has changed from resident training to online training.  Thanks to the law, GI Bill students will continue receiving the same monthly housing allowance (MHA) payments they received for resident training until Dec. 21, or until the school resumes in-person classes.

Veterans Service Center Location                                                                         Student Services Building – Room SS150                                                                                    Contact Us   –
