Wow...that is very frustrating. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

The government is all kinds of screwed up. Before my (soon to be ex) husband got kicked out of the military, he transferred his GI bill to me. That was in 2011. Apparently when doing so you commit to 4 more years of service. in 2012 he was involuntarily discharged (though it was honorably). Then six months later he gets a 100% disability rating from the Veteran's Administration.

Fast forward TWO YEARS...and last week I get a letter saying that I owe them $14,000 for all the money they have paid out with the GI Bill because of "changes in my information" - nice vagueness of government letters. It also meant they were not going to pay my tuition and fees for this semester and my $900/month living expenses would not be paid. Yeah...totally sucks. So who knows what I am going to do at this point. Like they don't even care.

Thankfully I had just paid for a full year of my rent (with my student loans) and I get food stamps (which hopefully won't change since I have two kids). It's really crazy and frustrating.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, but I'm glad you have some food stocked up. And it really is not acceptable that no one is calling you back. the government is a MESS!!
