Can I apply for my education benefits on-line?

The VONAPP (Veterans On-Line Applications) website is an official U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website designed so veterans can apply for benefits through the Internet.

U.S. military veterans, service members with two years of service, and members of the Selected Reserve can apply for education benefits.

When you use this site to complete and send an application to VA, your application will be sent directly to the VA office with jurisdiction over your application. Processing will begin right away, and you will receive a response from the VA office letting you know the status of your application.

Who should use VONAPP?

You should use VONAPP if you are a U.S. military veteran, a servicemember with at least 2 years of active duty, or a member of the Selected Reserve. If you have previously filed a claim for education benefits, use VONAPP only if you are filing for a different education benefit. For example, if you have used all of your benefits based on your active duty and would now like to apply for benefits based upon your Selected Reserve service.

If you have a pending application, don't use VONAPP to resubmit your claim. It will slow down processing. If you would like to know the status of a pending claim contact the Regional Processing Office by calling 1-888-GI BILL 1 (1-888-442-4551).
