A Veteran I know said he got an email from the VA to this effect.

Personally, I'd call the VA to get the straight skinny. But this article was posted 2 days ago about this issue

Lawmakers move to protect GI Bill payouts amid college coronavirus closings

Concerns surround whether schools' decisions to shift to online-only classes will affect GI Bill housing payments.

There are a lot of variables, but it seems like the VA is doing its best to minimize the affect on vets. The key is whether or not the school is certified to deliver the course online.
