Licensing and Certification Tests
We have installed a search feature which will
allow you to search our database to see if the test is on our list of approved
tests.
NOTE: If the test is not listed it doesn't mean
that it is not a valid test, it only means that we have not approved
it yet.
Click
here to go to the search feature.
If you have never filed an application for education
benefits, you need to submit an application for benefits along with your
request for payment for a test or tests. If you are a veteran or are on active
duty, download VA
Form 22-1990. If you are an eligible child or spouse, download VA
Form 22-5490. Mail your application form together with your test information
shown below to the VA office listed below for your state. Include the test
information in the Remarks section of the form.
Send us a copy of your test results with a note
requesting reimbursement. Please include:
- your name and social security number
- the name of the test or certification you took and the date
you took it
- name and address of the organization issuing
the license or certificate (not necessarily the organization that administered
the test)
- cost of the test NOTE: Registration fees,
preparation guides, processing fees, etc. will not be reimbursed.
- the following statement: "I authorize
release of my test information to VA."
To make this process a little easier, click HERE to see an example of the information we will need to process
your claim. You can print the form and send it in as your application. We
have NO "Official" application for this benefit.
We have a series of questions and answers
available at our Frequently Asked Questions site. Click

If your organization offers licensing or certification
tests, VA urges you to request approval of your tests so that veterans and
other beneficiaries may receive reimbursement.
If you represent a State or local licensing board,
the approval requirements are minimal. If you represent a non-governmental
organization, your test must be generally accepted within the industry, must
have been in existence at least two years, and must meet other requirements.
You will be doing our nation's veterans a big
favor if you participate in this program. Please understand that all payments
will be sent directly to VA beneficiaries and not to your organization. If
you wish to seek approval for your organization's tests, find the State approving
agency for the State where the headquarters of your organization is located
and contact them. Click
HERE for a list of the State approving agencies.
Organizations
providing tests can obtain a supply of a VA Pamphlet explaining this
benefit by clicking on this link.
Note: The minimum order
is 50 pamphlets. If you only need one or two pamphlets, click HERE to download a copy.
