Veterans and dependent of veterans are entitled to a variety of benefits. For all students who plan to receive educational benefits under the provision of the G.I. Bill, will have their educational benefit claims sent to:

Dept. of Veterans Affairs
Regional Office
P.O. Box 4616
Buffalo, NY  14240-4616

Certificate of Eligibility for Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Malaysia, and National Guard Veterans have their educational benefit claims sent to:

Veterans Administration
245  West Houston Street
New York, NY 10014

The Veteran should then report to the College Veterans Liaison Representative with the Certificate of Release/Discharge from Active Duty Form (DD214) or Certification of Eligibility Form (DD2384/2384-1). The receipt of benefits takes approximately eight to ten weeks. Veterans applying for benefits must be able to document their service in the military, marital status, and number of dependents they support.

It is necessary for every veteran attending Hostos to report to the Veterans Liaison Office each successive session (that is, in September, January, and June) to initiate the veteran's and dependents enrollment status to the VA. Personal and academic counseling are available for veterans and dependents of veterans in the Office of Counseling Services.
