Servicemembers, Veterans, and National Guard and Reserve Members
A COE is a form provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs that indicates to the lender that you're eligible for a VA loan. In order to be eligible for a VA loan, you must meet one of the following requirements: 181 days of service during peacetime. 90 days of service during wartime.
How Long Does it Take to Get My COE? If you have access to your eBenefits portal it will only take you about 5 minutes to receive your COE confirmation. If you mail in your COE application, it will take about 4-6 weeks to receive your COE confirmation.
According to VA lending guidelines, $2010 is the maximum allowable amount you may have for a mortgage payment including principal and interest, taxes and insurance.
To request a COE, please call the Education Call Center at 888-442-4551.

Veterans looking for a VA loan will often need to provide lenders with a copy of their DD Form 214 as proof of service. ... Lenders can use the DD-214 to obtain your Certificate of Eligibility, which formally documents your eligibility for the home loan benefit.
You don't have to have a job at all to qualify for a VA mortgage. ... When applying for a VA loan, you can ask your lender to consider Social Security income, disability income, alimony, child support, annuities and retirement income.
The initial COE application process includes a firearms eligibility criminal background check and issuance of a certificate, which is valid for one year. Thereafter, the COE must be renewed annually. A COE can be revoked, at anytime, if the COE holder becomes prohibited from owning/possessing firearms and ammunition.
No, your Certificate of Eligibility will never expire. The only exception is for those veterans who obtained their certificate while they were on active duty. That veteran would need to obtain a new Certificate of Eligibility after he or she has been discharged.
It shows that you have full entitlement. The $36,000 isn't the total amount you can borrow. Instead, it means that if you default on a loan that's under $144,000, we guarantee to your lender that we'll pay them up to $36,000.
