The certifying official's primary responsibility is to certify enrollment status of veterans to the Veterans Administration.
UMKC is NOT able to determine whether a veteran is eligible for benefits, determine the dollar amount of benefits or when students will receive benefit monies from the VA. You can call 1-888-GI-BILL1 or visit benefits.va.gov/gibill/ to determine your eligibility or inquire about benefits.
