It is a federal education benefit that provides eligible dependents of veterans who are 100% disabled or died from a service-related injury or illness with financial assistance for education and training.

Please note that Chapter 35 is a federal benefit, and it is not the same as the Hazlewood Act, which is a state benefit for Texas veterans and their dependents.

Chapter 35 of the Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 1984 (VEAA), also known as the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) program, provides education and training benefits to eligible dependents of veterans who have died or become totally and permanently disabled due to a service-connected disability.

The benefits available under Chapter 35 include:

Tuition and fees
Some of Books and supplies
Monthly living stipend
Dependents' educational assistance allowance (DEA allowance)
Training allowances for apprenticeships and on-the-job training
The amount of benefits you receive will depend on your dependent status, your enrollment status, and the cost of education at the school you attend.

Dependent status

The amount of benefits you receive will depend on whether you are a child or spouse of the veteran. Children are eligible for up to 45 months of benefits, while spouses are eligible for up to 36 months of benefits.

Enrollment status

The amount of benefits you receive will also depend on your enrollment status. Full-time students receive the most benefits, while part-time students receive less.

Cost of education

The amount of benefits you receive will also depend on the cost of education at the school you attend. The VA will pay up to the full cost of tuition and fees, plus a monthly living stipend.

DEA allowance

The DEA allowance is a monthly payment that is made to help dependents with their living expenses while they are attending school. The amount of the DEA allowance is based on the dependent's dependency status and their enrollment status.

Training allowances for apprenticeships and on-the-job training

If you are interested in pursuing an apprenticeship or on-the-job training program, the VA may also provide you with training allowances. These allowances can help you pay for the cost of training, as well as provide you with a monthly living stipend.

To be eligible for Chapter 35 benefits, you must meet the following requirements:

You must be the child or spouse of a veteran who died or became totally and permanently disabled due to a service-connected disability.
You must be enrolled in an eligible educational program.
You must meet certain academic and character requirements.
If you believe you may be eligible for Chapter 35 benefits, you can apply for them through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA will determine your eligibility and the amount of benefits you are entitled to.

The VA will pay up to the maximum annual tuition of $27,120.05 for private or foreign colleges and universities for the 2023-2024 academic year. This is the maximum amount that the VA will pay, regardless of the actual tuition charged by the school.

You can use Chapter 35 benefits at private universities, but you will need to pay the difference between the VA's maximum tuition and the actual tuition charged by the school. For example, if the actual tuition at a private university is $30,000 per year, you will need to pay the remaining $2,880 out of pocket.
