Ah, alright. I thought I could use both. By the way, I'm the son of a service member, do I need to be married to be eligible?
You can be married or unmarried.
What if I already started my educational program? Can I still expect benefits to be paid?
Yes, you should ask a certifying official from your school or your employer to fill out a VA Enrollment Certification VA Form 22-1999. They'll need to submit it online using VA Online Certification VA-ONCE.
