Activating Benefits

A representative is available to assist veterans and activate all veterans' educational benefits. A complete description of the educational benefits available to veterans (and their dependents, if applicable) can be obtained through the Department of Veterans Affairs website at www.gibill.va.gov/

When initially applying for educational benefits, it is necessary to provide a certified copy of the veteran's DD-214 member 4 copy to the Veterans' Office. The county can certify the DD-214 at no cost.

Educational benefits are also available to eligible members of the National Guard or Selected Reserves who currently have a commitment of 6 years (or greater). A notice of Basic Eligibility (or NOBE) needs to be requested from your unit and brought to the Veterans' Advisors Office to start the application process.
