Hello, I want to apply for the GI Bill.
Then you're in the right place. Here you can find out how to apply for the GI Bill and other VA education benefits as a Veteran, service member, or qualified family member.
================
Can someone help me with the application process? I'm a bit confused.
Of course, you can work with a trained professional called an accredited representative to get help applying for education benefits.
================
That's great. And I submit my application by mail?
Yes, please call 888-GI-BILL-1 888-442-4551, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET, so we can send the application form to you.
Would you like to know what to do after we send the application form to you?
Yes, please.
After you receive the application form, you need to fill it out and mail it to the VA regional claims processing office that's in the same location as your school.
================
But wait. For career counseling benefits I need a different form, right?
Correct, you'll need to use a different application.
================
That's all a bit too confusing. I'm an old man. Is there a way we can do it in person?
Of course. Simply go to a VA regional benefit office and have a VA employee help you.
