INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION: To apply for tutorial assistance read these instructions and complete the form in full. If you need help,
reach us on the Internet at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/. You can call VA toll-free at 1-888-GIBILL1 (1-888-442-4551). If you
use the Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD), the Federal Relay number is 711. To obtain information on other forms of
assistance, contact the financial aid office at your school.
ELIGIBILITY: If you are eligible for education benefits and need help in a subject, you can get supplemental payments for tutorial
assistance. The subject must be necessary for the completion of your approved program. You must be training at one-half time or
more in a post-secondary program at an educational institution. Even if you are passing a course, you can get tutorial assistance if
your grade will not be credited toward completion of your program.

CLAIMS FOR TUTORIAL ASSISTANCE: After you have received tutoring, do the following:
Step 1. Fill out the form.
• Complete Items 1 through 13.
• In Item 10, show the individual unit subject or subjects (e.g., Math 101) for which you needed tutoring.
• Be sure to complete all blocks A through F in Item 12. If any block is not checked, your payment may be delayed.
Step 2. Take to your tutor. The tutor must:
• Sign and date the application in Items 14A and 14B.
• Verify the information you provided.
• Certify that he or she is the person who gave you individualized tutoring, and is not closely related to you (i.e., spouse, parent,
brother, sister or child).
Step 3. Take to the certifying official for VA Benefits at the school. The certifying official must:
• Complete Items 15 and 16.
• Sign in Items 17A and 17B.
Step 4. Post-9/11 GI Bill. If you are requesting tutorial assistance under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, take this form to the professor or
instructor of the course for which tutoring was necessary. The teacher must:
• Sign Item 18A.
• Complete Item 18B.
Step 5. Review the form. After you have completed the form (see steps 1 through 4), send it to VA as soon as possible after your
tutoring is complete. VA will not pay assistance for any tutoring received more than one year before the day VA actually receives
your claim.
Step 6. Where to Mail This Form. Mail the completed form to the Regional Processing Office for your state. See the chart on
page 3.

PAYMENTS: VA will pay up to $100 per month for your tutorial assistance. The tutorial assistance you get will be in addition to
your regular monthly education benefits for going to school.
ENTITLEMENT: The limit for tutorial assistance is $1,200 (12 times the maximum monthly rate of $100).

Special provisions:
1. If you are training under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 30 or 32, or under 10 U.S.C. Chapter 1606, or Section 903 of Public Law 96-342,
VA will not charge entitlement for your first $600 of tutorial assistance. For tutorial assistance over $600, VA will charge one
month of entitlement whenever you receive an amount equal to the full-time monthly rate you get for going to school.
2. If you are training under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 33 or 35, or the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Anti-terrorism Act of 1986, VA
will not charge you any entitlement for tutorial assistance.
