If applicable, you will receive payments from the $600 Buy-Up, Kicker or College Fund with your VA monthly payment. 

Eligibility for this program is determined by the Selected Reserve components. VA makes the payments for this program. Your eligibility for the program normally ends on the day you leave the Selected Reserve.
