Johason explained that when VA receives separation papers (DD 214) from the military, VA computers will automatically generate a package of papers to veterans. These include a Certificate of Eligibility an (COE) required when applying for any VA benefit application for education or training and a form for schools to use to certify enrollment. Previously, each of these was a separate step for students or schools. The package will also tell veterans their remaining G.I. Bill eligibility time, about counseling and tutorial services, how to apply for educational assistance and alxmt courses that may lie selected for training. JOHNSON SAID THAT under this new concept', veterans can complete the application and present it, along with the COE, to school officials at the time of registration. The school, in turn, will complete the enrollment portion and forward the entire package to VA for processing. The first benefit checks should lie received shortly thereafter. When veterans request advance payment on the application forms, checks will lie waiting at the institution for delivery to them upon registration. Schools with approved courses for veterans have lieen notified of the new form and procedure. Some Are Inspected 67 Dodge Charger ;66 Fairlane Wagon 65 Merc 65 Ply.
