2. Once your transfer request is approved, your request data is sent to the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
   • Each family member must first apply for a certificate of eligibility before they can use their transferred benefits.
   • Family member must fill out a VA Form 22-1990E, located at http://www.gibill.va.gov/apply-for-benefits/application
   Note: It takes about 10-12 weeks for the Regional Processing Office to handle claims for education benefits; therefore, the earlier you apply for benefits, the earlier you may receive your Certificate of Eligibility.

• Application for Education Benefits(VA Form 22-1990E)
