Hey, can you tell me how I can see my medical records online?
Of course. Our online tools can help you view, organize, and share your VA medical records and personal health information. First you should find out if you're eligible and how to sign in to start using these tools.
Do you know VA Blue Button?
Yes, I read about that.
What requirements do I have to meet to qualify for VA Blue Button?
Well, yeah. I am currently enrolled in your health care.
Are you registered as a patient in a VA health facility?
In that case, you can use all the features of this tool.
What if I choose to, let's say, not to share all that information with the world, but I change my mind later?

The reason I'm asking is that I wanted to plan my burial. I feel like a burden and I would like to take care of everything before I have to go. Do you think I could be buried in a national cemetery for veterans?
Of course. You can apply to find out in advance if you can be buried in a VA national cemetery. This is called a pre-need determination of eligibility and it can help make the burial planning process easier for your family members in their time of need.
Alright. And who is eligible for such a burial?
A Veteran who didn't receive a dishonorable discharge when you separated from the military, or the spouse or dependent child of a service member or Veteran, even if the service member or Veteran has already passed away.
But if I had fallen in battle, my wife wouldn't have had to apply for my burial?
Correct. If a service member dies on active duty, they're eligible for burial without a pre-need decision letter.
Do you perhaps have number I could call? I find it a bit difficult to write all this.
Could you help me understand how to repay my federal student loan without going into default?
First you should understand your loan agreement, make sure you know all loan info, and make sure to get ahold of your loan servicer when you might have trouble making your payment.
Have you missed a payment or made a payment late?
Yes, I have missed a payment.
Then you would be considered delinquent and late fees probably will be added to what is due; but there is a chance that you could avoid default by contacting your loan servicer.
Is there an easy way to track my loans online?
Yes, you can find out about all your federal student loans from the US Department of Education by signing in to "My Federal Student Aid".
What are the most important steps to avoid default of student loans?
Always try to avoid default first of all and take the time to comprehend your loan agreements and what are the exact loan types you are getting; and never borrow more money than you need or more than you expect to pay back.
What should I do if my federal student loan is delinquent?
You should look into the Student Loan Debt Collection Assistant, which the US Department of Education developed along with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it has tools that will give you access to special repayment options.
What is my promissory note?
A promissory note is your legal binding document and is important to read because when you sign it you are agreeing to paying the full amount back.
I'd like to know which steps to do next.
Consider this: even if you do not qualify for benefits on someone else's record, some of your family members may qualify for benefits on your record.

Yes, you may. If you are divorced, you may still be able to get benefits on your ex - spouse's record.
Will something happen if I don't get my income and family size recertified by the annual deadline?
It is really important to recertify before the annual deadline.
Do you need to know what happens if you don't recertify your income before the deadline?
Yes, I would like to know the answer about recertifying my income.
The things that will happen vary depending on the plan you have.
What happens if my family size is not recertified?
The same repayment plan would be enforced if you do not recertify your family size.
What if I have an income that is not taxed or do not have an income at all?
You would have to mark it the online application or paper application and you are not required to supply further documentation.
Are their other repayment options if I do not want an income-driven repayment plan?
You would need to contact your loan servicer and discuss repayments options such as extending our repayment period or temporarily suspend your repayment through deferment or forbearance.
Is there another option besides income-driven plans for PLUS loans for parents?
Yes, parent borrowers of PLUS loans could put there loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan and then repay the new consolidation loan under the ICR Plan.

Hello, I'm a student whose parents were Killed in Iraq, I want to know if I can get "aid", and if so: what do I have to do?
Did your parents die as result of military service in Iraq?
No, they weren't performing military service.
I mean, after that... I don't have the resources to pay college, since I'm homeless... but I really want to go to college. Is there a way I can go to college?
Yes, there's a way. We currently have a plan to prevent homeless to not attending college. The program is called: "Identifying and Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness from Pre - School to Post - Secondary Ages" I'll send you the link so that you can read more about it.
But I'm not a U.S citizen, I just have a permanent resident alien.
In that case you are considered an eligible noncitizen and you'll be able to get federal student aid.
But, how would I know if I'm eligible?
Most U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens are eligible for financial aid for college or career school, you have to understand the criteria the program uses for "staying eligible" as noncitizen, I'll share you a document with all the information.
Thanks a lot! Btw, I have a friend whose parents were killed granting military service in Iraq, can he get it too?
Absolutely! He might be eligible for additional Federal Pell Grant funding or for an Iraq Service Grant
Hello? Please, i'm a non citizen adult and i'm looking to get a replacement for a SSN card. Can i apply? Need documents for that?
Hi. Indeed, you can apply. As immigrant, first thing to do is to prove your immigration status to us. As such, you must present your current immigration document.
Can you prove your U.S immigration status?
Yeah, i can prove that, i have the proper documentation.
Perfect. Then you must show us one of the next documents: Form I-551 Immigrant Visa or I-766 EAD work permit.
No problem. I can do that. Please, i want to know something. All non citizens can apply for a SSN?
Sorry, but that would be a no. Just those non citizens who have work permit from DHS can apply for a Social security number.
I see. And what about if i'm a foreign worker? Can i apply too?
If that's the case. You'll just need to show us form I-94, Arrival or Departure Record or the admission stamp in your valid foreign passport showing a class of admission permitting to work. In some cases, workers must show form I-766 from DHS.
Um, ok, thanks. Just to be sure about an earlier point, only non citizens with work permit can apply for SSN, correct?
That's correct. Only those with work permit from DHS can apply.
Thanks. Look, i don't have this condition, but i wanted to know what i would need to show in case i need a social security number with tax purposes?
Sure, i can give you that information. If you have that case, you can apply for an individual Taxpayer identification number from the U.S IRS. You need to call the IRS toll free number to get more info.
Ok, got it. Last question, what about if i'm a student?
Well, if that' the case, aside the earlier documents, you'll need to show us your form I-20.
of course You must send a printed copy of your application, the associated documents and the fee
