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

necessary. The teacher must:

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.
