  • Complete the Veteran's Request Form for the semester you wish to receive benefits. The completed form can be faxed, mailed or hand delivered to the Military Service Center after you have registered for classes. The Veteran's Request form may also be completed by e-mail. Completed forms may be sent to MSC@UToledo.edu.

  • At the beginning of each semester, you will be asked to provide documentation of the number of months remaining on your education benefit. A copy from the VA should be attached to your Veteran’s Request Form. The VA sends this information to you when you receive approval for the benefit, and after every semester in which you are enrolled. If you do not have this letter, you may log into the VA’s eBenefits website (www.ebenefits.va.gov) and print out the page with this information. You may be asked to create an ID.me account to access this website.
