The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) defines the delimiting date as the first day after a claimant's period of eligibility expires. VA education benefits are not payable on or after the delimiting date.
Extensions
The VA may authorize an extension to the delimiting date. To learn about eligibility for a GI Bill extension and how to request it, visit: https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-a-gi-bill-extension/
Next steps
Because delimiting dates vary by VA education benefit program & individual circumstances, only the VA can determine if & when your education benefits will expire.
If you have questions about your VA education benefits, contact the VA Regional Education Office at 1-888-442-4551, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central Time.
