Certifying officials should keep a supply on hand at all times.
All forms are obtainable form VA regional offices.
A formal application for admission to the institution should be completed before an application for VA benefits is submitted. Since the students' application forms do not include enrollment certification data, claimants should be encouraged to take their completed applications and supporting documents to the school certifying official so that the documents can be submitted as a package enrollment with Form 22-1999, Enrollment Certification. Students have one year from the beginning date of their training in which to file an application and to receive benefits from the beginning date. After receipt of an original application the claimant will be sent an Acknowledgment of Receipt of Claim. Form 22-1990 to submit claims should have attached a copy of DD Form 214 as supporting documentation.
