Educational Benefits: Who is Eligible?
You may be eligible to receive one or more educational 好处 from the United States 退伍军人管理局 if you fall within the following definition:
A veteran is a former member of the Armed Forces of the United States (Army, 海军, 海军陆战队, 空军, and Coast Guard) who served on active duty and was discharged under conditions that were other than dishonorable. There is no minimum number of days a student must have served on active duty to be considered a Veteran. 然而, periods of active duty for training, pursuant to an enlistment in The National Guard or Reserves, does not qualify a student as a Veteran. Former or current members of the National Guard or Reserves are not considered to be 退伍军人 unless they had prior or subsequent service with an active component of the Armed Forces.
Those veterans eligible for educational 好处 should make an appointment with a counselor as soon as possible to begin their paperwork. Dependents eligible for VA 好处 under a parent's file also should arrange an appointment at their earliest convenience.
