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.
And what is this GI Bill Statement of Benefits for?
Your GI Bill Statement of Benefits will show you how much of your benefits you've used and how much you have left to use.
Do I have any options aside from the job training through GI Bill program?
we have VetSuccess on Campus, which could help you transition from military to college life if that is what you are going to do

Sure, go ahead.
Did your husband die in the line of duty after September 10, 2001?
