退伍军人支援服务

申请退伍军人教育福利

步骤1.) 访问 the VA education and training 好处 webpage at http://www.va.gov/education/

Veterans/Dependents may be eligible for one of the following categories:

• 第三十一章(职业康复)
• 第33章(9-11后退伍军人法案®)
• Chapter 35 (Dependents of deceased or disabled Vets)
• Chapter 1606 (Montgomery GI Bill® Selected Reserve)
• 第33章(9-11后退伍军人法案®，黄丝带)

步骤2.) The VA will mail you a Certificate of Eligibility, of which a copy must be sent to Attn: VA Certifying Official in the 退伍军人支援服务 office in Filippi Academic Hall, 190, 或发邮件给Kindra斯图尔特 kcs14@videobride.net.  Please turn in this form, even if you are still awaiting your acceptance decision from Saint Mary's.

步骤3.) Once we have your Certificate of Eligibility AND you are enrolled in classes at Saint Mary's, we will begin reporting your enrollment to the VA so you receive 好处.

Request for Change of Program or Place of Training (22-1995)

If you have used your VA 好处 before and you are changing your major and/or school, and/or you have been out of school for over one year, 请填写22-1995表格 eBenefits.  If you are Chapter 35 you would fill out the 22-5495 form.  The form can be submitted online or download a copy and mail it in according to the instruction on the form.  St Mary’s will need a copy of your completed form.

Change in Enrollment and Student Responsibilities

All changes made after your initial certification should be brought to the attention of the VA Certifying Official so the change can be reported.  最常见的变化包括:

• 更改学时(减少或增加)
• 课程/入学/时间表的变化
• 专业变化
• Change in previously reported or incomplete grade
• 休假
• 从大学退学

Failure to report changes may result in termination of 好处, 未来认证的延迟, delays in receiving benefit payments and debt/overpayment with the VA.  Changes may be reported to the VA School Certifying Official in person, by telephone, or email.  Audits are conducted and changes in units will be reported, but it is ultimately your responsibility to report these changes when they occur to reduce the possibility of an overpayment or possibly an underpayment.

Caution: “W’s”: The VA will not pay for educational 好处 for courses from which you have withdrawn, unless the VA determines that there are mitigating circumstances.
