question What's the timeline for changing direct deposit to a new bank account for VA payments?

[DormantDuck]

How quickly can you switch direct deposit to a different bank? In one pay period?

Is it possible to get my April 1st payment in the new bank if I change it in a few days?

Most of the time, you need to wait about 30 days.

If you switch now, your money will go into the new account.

The last day to make changes is the 19th. If you change it by then, it usually updates on the first.

The final day to change your bank info is different every month, but there's always one. Update your details by that day, and your next pay will go to the new bank. I'm not sure if you can find these dates online, but calling will get you the info.

Though, you need to make the change by the 19th of this month.
