How To Use Your Va Benefits At Ivy Tech
There is a process in place for requesting your benefits which consists of a form being sent through DocuSign, an electronic document that is sent to your Ivy Tech email. Be sure to meet with your academic advisor and follow your Degree Completion Tracker to ensure you are taking classes that are required for your program, to help lessen processing delays due to scheduling issues. Once you are enrolled in courses, request the enrollment request from your VMBS.
When you complete and e-sign the document it is then routed to our office. Generally, we can have your enrollment processed to the VA, within a week. In peak enrollment time please give us up to 14 business days to get this sent to the VA.
Tips for full time status:
- The VA pays for the time you are in classes and that rate of pursuit during that time period.
- We understand this is a lot of information, please do not hesitate to ask about full time status before you are enrolled in classes if you follow these helpful examples.
| 16 Week – Not Enrolled | |
| 16 Week – 4 Credit Hours | |
| 8 Week 1 – 3 Credit Hours | 8 Week 2 – 5 Credit Hours |
| VA Status – 3/4 Time | Full Time |
If you are in a clinical course and not full time based upon credit hours, you may still qualify for full time benefits – see your VMBS to confirm your enrollment status.

Serving Those Who Have Served
Indiana Universitys connections to the United States military date back to the schools founding in 1820. Many of IUs first students, faculty members, and trustees had military ties, including some who served in the War of 1812.
IUs proud tradition of military involvement has remained strong over the past 200 years. Today the IU Bloomington campus is home to more than 500 veterans and nearly 750 military spouses and dependents. The Center for Veteran and Military Students helps veterans and military-connected students make the transition from the military to IU and provides support and resources during their time on campus.

Woman Who Helped Overturn Roe Leads Fight Against Veterans Affairs
A woman who was instrumental in the overturning of Roe v. Wade has filed an amicus brief with other pro-life elected officials in opposition of abortion policies at the Department of Veterans Affairs that allegedly overrule religious liberties and states’ rights.
Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch and 17 other attorneys general filed an amicus brief Tuesday in the Western District of Texas in the case of Carter v. McDonough. The brief supports 23-year VA nurse practitioner Stephanie Carter, a self-described Christian who is employed at the Olin E. Teague Veterans’ Center in Temple, Texaswhich serves more than 7,000 female patients annually.
In addition to Mississippi, the brief was joined by attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
“In direct contravention of the Supreme Court‘s opinion in Dobbs, President Biden has taken abortion policy away from state legislators, Congress, and, most importantly, the people and given it to political appointees in his own administration,” Fitch said. “The Dobbs decision was about the rule of law. This VA rule is precisely the opposite.”
Carter’s lawsuit was filed by the First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit Christian conservative legal group based in Texas.
