At the University of Michigan-Dearborn, the Certifying Officials for Veterans Affairs act as a liaison with the Regional Processing Office in St. Louis, MO. Our goal is to assist veterans, or the dependents of veterans, with the application and certification process. Students who are eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill under chapter 30, 31, 32, 35, 1606, or VEAP are able to apply for their respective educational benefits with assistance from this office. Any questions regarding the eligibility of a veteran or dependent can be answered by calling the St. Louis Regional Office at 1-888-GIBILL1 (442-4551)
