Education Benefits

Veteran Online Application

My Education Benefits is used to apply for education benefits. It completes form 22-1990 to allow a user to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE). These forms are completed and saved in the Database before being written by the create_daily_spool_files task and sent via SFTP to the TIMS system. Education Form processings logs can be found in the #vsa-education-logs slack channel.
