How to Apply for GI Bill Benefits
The first thing you should do is complete a VA Form
22-1990 (Application for VA Education Benefits), this form is available at your school, by
contacting the VA, or HERE.
If applying online you must send the VA a signature card, we can't process
any application without a signature.
Send any supporting documentation you think is necessary.
This includes:
- copies of your Member 4 DD214 form
- proof of any payments to the GI Bill
- call-up orders
- college fund contracts
- LES's
- anything else you think is important
If in doubt about the VA needing a specific document, send a copy just to
be safe and avoid any delay in processing your claim due to missing documents.
Ensure you send copies of any materials, NOT originals. The VA will return
any original documents we receive, but you may need them to apply for other
benefits such as VA home loans or state benefits.
Application processing times vary and average processing times are posted
on the specific processing office website HERE.
