Federal Benefits
The following are Federal GIBILL Benefits that a veteran or service member may be eligible. The member must apply with the Department of Veterans Affairs to receive a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). This COE outlines which benefit(s) they are eligible and which benefit they elected to utilize. This COE must be taken to the Veterans Certifying Official on campus for the enrollment and benefit to be certified in order for payments to be initiated by the VA.
The Department of Veterans Affairs can be reached by either www.gibill.va.gov or by calling (888) 442-4551.
