Enrollment Certification Request
Veterans and dependents receiving VA Educational Assistance must complete a WSU Enrollment Certification Request prior to each semester or term that they wish to use their VA benefit. This form requires the student's academic advisor's signature, so plan ahead! Failure to submit this form will delay receipt of your monthly GI Bill payments.
Survivor Benefit Hotline for GI Bill Beneficiaries
The Department of Veterans Affairs' Education Service now has a dedicated phone line for GI Bill beneficiaries who are the surviving spouse or child of an active duty service member who died in the line of duty and need assistance with their education benefits. A child or surviving spouse can contact the Education Call Center at 1-888-442-4551 and select Option 5. A highly trained agent with specialized training in survivor benefits will be ready to assist the caller with their education benefits or survivor-related resources. The call center is open Monday - Friday, from 7am to 5pm CST.
