Of course, you can find out if you're eligible for VA education benefits for dependents and survivors also called Chapter 35 benefits.
Are you a dependent spouse or child or the surviving spouse or child of a Veteran?
Yes, I'm the surviving spouse of a Veteran.
In that case you may qualify for Chapter 35 benefits or job training through a GI Bill program.
In other words surviving spouses of Veterans are eligible for these benefits, right? My sister is also a survivor, so it'd be interesting to know.
Yes, that's correct.
Are you eligible for education benefits?
Yes, I should be. I've skimmed through the requirements and I seem to fulfill them all.
In that case you may qualify for VA education benefits or Chapter 35 benefits, provided you fulfill all of the requirements.
Can you tell me if the following things are true?
Sure, go ahead.
Did your husband die in the line of duty after September 10, 2001?
Yes, he did. May he rest in peace.
Being the spouse of a Veteran, do I have any chance for those educational benefits?
Yes, you may qualify for VA education benefits, or Chapter 35 benefits, if you're the child or spouse of a Veteran.
That's great. What benefits can I expect?
