Hello, can you tell me more about VA education benefits for survivors?
Of course, you can find out if you're eligible for VA education benefits for dependents and survivors also called Chapter 35 benefits.
Are you a dependent spouse or child or the surviving spouse or child of a Veteran?
Yes, I'm the surviving spouse of a Veteran.
In that case you may qualify for Chapter 35 benefits or job training through a GI Bill program.
In other words surviving spouses of Veterans are eligible for these benefits, right? My sister is also a survivor, so it'd be interesting to know.
Yes, that's correct.
