Experience personalized features with ID.me and Ask VA
As we continue to modernize the GI Bill experience, we are encouraging users to create a VA.gov account using ID.me to take full advantage of the new features we have to offer. By using ID.me to create an account, students and School Certifying Officials (SCOs) can submit questions online using Ask VA. Your questions will then be routed directly to the appropriate benefit office so you can get an accurate, timely answer. In the future, your students will be able to utilize future Digital GI Bill (DGIB) enhancements including auto-populated application information, the ability to download their Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) and easily access their statement of benefits online which can reduce confusion about their benefits. To learn more about the process of creating a VA.gov account using ID.me, utilize this step-by-step video.
For those who use Ask VA for business and personal inquiries, VA has created a guide to help you separate your personal and business profiles. You can access the guide here.
