Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Rates

Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance Rates

Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA) program rates for the 2021-2022 year are effective from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. Every year, these rates increase to offset the costs of education as they rise from inflation. This year’s rates increased by about 2.6% for most students. The benefits for most survivors and dependents last up to 36 months of schooling. If the dependent first accessed the benefits before Aug. 1, 2018, then they will last up to 45 months.

The DEA program provides education and training opportunities to eligible dependents and survivors of certain veterans. Eligibility requirements include dependents of permanently and totally disabled veterans or veterans who died while serving on active duty.
