The OUR only submits VA certifications upon receipt of a BRF completed by the student. While late BRFs can be certified, it does not guarantee that your tuition will be fully covered or that late fees will be removed. Please be mindful of your funding caps as well as the BRF deadlines as listed at the top of the BRF form. For all questions related to VA eligibility and benefit claims, please reach out to the VA Education and Training helpline at 888-GI BILL 1 (888-442-4551) or submit a question via http://www.gibill.va.gov.
