How is this benefit applied to my student account?

The LMU portion of your Yellow Ribbon award will credit to your account once you meet all enrollment and disbursement requirements. Most awards will credit to your account after the university's Add/Drop deadline, which is usually the first Friday of each semester.

The VA match of your Yellow Ribbon award will issue payment directly to the University on your behalf after your enrollment certification is processed by the VA.  The process time usually takes 6-8 weeks after the beginning of each semester and summer session.
