资格

You may be eligible for VA education benefits (Chapter 35 benefits) if you’re the child or spouse of a service member and one of these descriptions listed is true of the service member.

One of these must be true:

  • The service member died in the line of duty after September 10, 2001, or
  • The service member is missing in action or was captured in the line of duty by a hostile force, or
  • The service member was detained (held) by force while in the line of duty by a foreign government or power, or
  • The service member is in the hospital or getting outpatient treatment for a service-connected permanent and total disability, and is likely to be discharged for that disability. A service-connected permanent and total disability is a disability resulting from your service that doesn’t go away.

You may be eligible for VA education benefits (Chapter 35 benefits) if you’re the child or spouse of a Veteran and one of these descriptions listed is true of the Veteran.

One of these must be true:

  • The Veteran is permanently and totally disabled due to a service-connected disability, or
  • The Veteran died while on active duty or as a result of a service-connected disability

If you’re a dependent who doesn’t meet the above criteria, you may still qualify for VA education benefits if the Veteran or service member transferred some or all of their Post-9/11 GI Bill entitlement to you while they were on active duty.

1. 完成 Dependent’s Application for VA Educational Benefits (22-5490) form 在美国.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

  • Print three copies of your application: one copy for your record, one copy to send to the VA, and one copy that you will submit to the Franklin’s Office of 军事 and Veteran Affairs.
  • Following the successful processing of your benefits application, the VA will issue a Certificate of 资格 to you by mail. The VA will not send this to the school; it is your responsibility to send a copy of this to the Office of 军事 and Veteran Affairs at Franklin upon receipt.
  • 美国.S. Department of Veteran Affairs currently estimates that processing will require 28 calendar days. Franklin University cannot be responsible for complications or delays in benefit awards due to VA delays in application processing.

2. 完成 Dependent’s Request for Change of Program or Place of Training (22-5495) form instead of the 22-5490 if you have used your benefits at a previous school.
