Collecting Benefits
Certification for Payment of Benefits
In order to collect benefits, please submit a Statement of Responsibility form to the Veterans Resource Center each semester or anytime you add/drop a class
during the semester. On this form, you will list the classes you are registered in
and would like to count toward collecting your benefits. The Certifying Official will
then cross reference the classes you are enrolled in against your degree pattern/Ed
Plan and or college catalog to verify that they are required. Classes that are not
required will NOT be certified.
If your educational objective changes, you must meet with a Veterans counselor and
obtain a new Education Plan and fill out the required paperwork.
Note: You cannot be certified for a Double Major or Dual Certificates. You are only able to be certified for one major/certificate/employment concentration at a time per semester.

- 12 units = full time benefits

- 3-5.5 units = 录 benefits (1/4 time payment will be reimbursement of tuition only. If you have Board of Governor鈥檚
