Students wishing to use their GI Bill® benefits MUST complete the Online Veteran Worksheet every academic year (fall, spring).  This worksheet authorizes the University of Iowa to certify enrollments with the VA and covers summer, fall, winter and spring.  

• It is best practice to submit every summer after your first semester of enrollment. 
• The worksheet allows you to attach your COE.   If your benefits have not changed, you only need to submit your COE the first time you complete the form.  
• After IVETS receives your COE and Veteran Worksheet, our staff submits your paperwork to the VA, and your benefits will begin to get processed. You will receive an email from the VA when this process begins. Expect your benefits to be approved within 3-6 weeks.
• Submitting your worksheet early helps to avoid delayed payments of your GI Bill® benefits.
