Title
What types of life changes do I have to report to VA?
Answer
You need to report any life changes that may affect your eligibility for VA benefits. These include:
- A change in active-duty status
- An increase in your or your spouse’s income or net worth
- A divorce or the death of a spouse
- A change in a dependent's eligibility status (like a school-age child who gets married or leaves school)
- A change in school schedule (like if you withdraw from a class or leave school)
- A change in program attendance (like if you drop out of the Veteran Readiness and Employment program without an accepted reason after we purchased a service or tool for you)
- A jail sentence
If you have questions, call your VA benefit office.
