***Attn: Veterans applying for Post 9/11 GI Bill***

Only those Veterans wanting to switch to the new Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 GI Bill) need to re-apply to the VA. We are unable to certify Fall 2009 enrollment certifications for those electing Chapter 33 until we receive a new Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and a copy of your DD-214 (member 4 copy). Make note that this election is irrevocable. The new Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 GI Bill) application will be available after May 1st thru the VA website. Fall 2009 enrollment certifications can be processed after July 6th for those electing the new Chapter 33. We will be processing summer enrollments as usual. Veterans that will be continuing with their current chapters do not need to re-apply to VA and may submit their certification request forms for summer and fall after they are registered for classes.
