Entitlement is the amount of education benefits available to you under a specific U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefit program. Each VA education benefit program has its own rules for how entitlement is earned, used and measured.
As you use your VA education benefits for approved education or training, your available entitlement is reduced based on the requirements of your benefit program.
What is remaining entitlement?
Remaining entitlement is the portion of your VA education benefits that you have not yet used. It represents the amount of education benefits you still have available for future approved education or training.
Your remaining entitlement may change as you continue to use your VA education benefits.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) tracks your entitlement and remaining entitlement and provides this information through your VA education benefit records, such as your Certificate of Eligibility (COE), when applicable.
If you have questions about your available entitlement or remaining benefits, contact the VA or review your VA education benefit information through the VA education website:
