VA-ONCE Guidance
VA Once Guidance
What is VA-ONCE?
VA-ONCE is an enhanced means for submitting VA Forms 22-1999, 22-1999b, and 22-6553c. It is a completely Internet based application developed by a team of schools and VA representatives.
How do I gain access VA-ONCE?
All schools will need to complete a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to gain access to the VA-ONCE application. Click HERE for a copy of the MOU. You should complete the form on-line, PRINT it, obtain the appropriate signature(s), and mail it to your Education Liaison Representative (ELR).
Note: The MOU must be signed by a school official who has the authority to enter into a contract between the institution and VA.
