Hello, I'm here to learn more about the benefits of a GI Bill.


Of course. GI Bill benefits help you pay for college, graduate school, and training programs. Since 1944, the GI Bill has helped qualifying Veterans and their family members get money to cover all or some of the costs for school or training.


Did you apply for and were you awarded Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits?


Yes.


In that case your GI Bill Statement of Benefits will show you how much of your benefits you've used and how much you have left to use.


What other options do I have regarding GI Bill benefits?


You can use the GI Bill Comparison Tool or apply for education benefits.


And what is this GI Bill Statement of Benefits good for?


Your GI Bill Statement of Benefits will show you how much of your benefits you've used and how much you have left to use.


Can you tell me anything else?


Gladly. We could find out if your school participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can help pay tuition costs that the Post-9/11 GI Bill doesn't cover.


That's fine, but I have another question. Can I get help paying for a tutor?


Yes, if you're using VA educational benefits and you're struggling with the coursework, you might be able to get help paying for a tutor.


Hello I need information about the Disability Determination Process


Disability Home


How can I request benefits?


You can apply for disability benefits online, or if you prefer, you can apply by calling our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213.


When should I apply?


You must submit a request as soon as you disable.


do you want to request?


do not


Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.


What other publications can give me more information about disability benefits?


Among the existing publications is the Disability Starter Kit to help you prepare for your disability interview or online application. The kits are available for adults and for children under 18 years of age.


A question regarding the corrected card for an adult US citizen born abroad, what consequences can I have if I do not report the change of my name?


Failure to inform us may prevent your wages from being correct on your Social Security record, which may lower the amount of your future Social Security benefits and it might cause delays when you file your taxes.


Can I be backed by a VA home loan if I do not quite meet my lender's credit requirements?


For a VA home loan you will also need to meet your lender's credit and income loan requirements to receive financing.


Can I get a Certificate of Eligibility as the spouse of a veteran?


You may be able to get a COE if you are the surviving spouse of a veteran or the spouse of a veteran who is missing in action or being held as a prisoner of war.


Can I use the same COE I used to purchase my current home if I am relocating?


You may be able to restore an entitlement you used in the past to buy another home with a VA direct or VA-backed loan if you meet certain requirements.


Does my current home need to be sold to re-use my COE or can I keep it and use it as a rental property?


You can re-use a COE if you've sold the home you bought with the prior loan and have paid that loan in full among other requirements.  If you wish to request an entitlement restoration, fill out a Request for Certificate of Eligibility VA Form 26-1880 and send it to the VA regional loan center for your state.


What are the requirements for re-using a COE?


Have you sold the home that you bought with the prior loan and paid that loan in full?


I have not sold the home.  I was wondering if I could keep it and use it as a rental property.


Is it possible that a qualified veteran-transferee would agree to assume your loan and substitute their entitlement for the same amount of entitlement that you originally used?


I do not understand what that means or how that would work.


If you could find a qualified veteran-transferee that would make that agreement, you could do that and then re-use your COE.


I need help with a license suspension


A suspension means your driver license is taken away for a period of time before it is returned.


I know what it means.  Now tell me how I can proof that my license is not suspended anymore?

Are you researching schools?


yes I am


You can consider such things as cost, location and accreditation when you are trying to decide where to go.


what is accreditation about?


An accredited school meets certain standards set by an independent agency. It helps ensure the training or education you get meets employer standards in a specific field.


How could you reduce the cost of college? If I am in an insurance plan, do I apply for medical benefits?


In this case, the insurance company can not charge you for recommended or preventative services such as flu shots or other immunizations


Is there any financial benefit to attending a college or career school that is close to my home?


In this instance, you should consider living at home to reduce accommodation costs


Is there anything that can be done in relation to health benefits if I have been uninsured because of a pre-existing condition?


People in this category may be eligible to join the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan

Did you get a decision notice from us that confirms your disability rating the rating that measures the severity of your disability?


yes, got it


Okay, you may be able to get disability compensation or benefits.  We can help you find out what benefits you can get.


so in other words we get money or more healthcare?


Disability compensation may include financial compensation payments as well as other benefits like health care or job training


I'd like to know if I will get a higher disability rating if I have two disabilities? Or do you decide based on which of my disabilities is the most severe?


If you have 2 disabilities we will round that combined value to the nearest 10 % to find your combined disability rating. We round combined values ending in 1 to 4 down , and those ending in 5 to 9 up .


so if I get something ending in a 4 it would go down ?


In our example your combined disability rating would be 70 %  after it was rounded from 74..


do you have anything I can look at for more info, like videos that explain things?


Yes, we have videos up on Youtube


I don't think I qualify, but who qualifies for what benefits?


Even if you do not qualify for benefits on someone else's record some members of your family may qualify for benefits on your record.


Do you have more info on this?

Have you stopped paying your loans?


No I haven't.


There must be companies that I can trust with this, no?


Certainly, you can refer to this list of trusted companies that work with ED to provide student loan services.


How can I tell if a company has a good reputation?


It is quite difficult due to the fact that many student loan debt relief companies operate under many different names and use many different phone numbers to avoid detection. Some even go as far as to reopen under different names after being sued or shut down.


Regarding Retirement benefits, if you do not qualify for benefits in someone else's registry, couldn't another person register?


Even if you do not qualify for benefits on someone else's record, some members of your family may qualify for benefits on your record.


What is the maximum of family benefits?


The total depends on your spouse's benefit amount and the number of family members who also qualify on the same record. The total varies, but overall, the total amount the worker can receive for his or her spouse and family members is approximately 150 to 180 percent of the worker's total retirement benefit.
