VA Form 22-1990t: Application for Individualized Tutorial Assistance
VA Form 22-1990t is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Application for Individualized Tutorial Assistance. The instructions say that if you are eligible for education benefits and need help in a subject, you can get supplemental payments for tutorial assistance, in addition to your regular monthly education benefits.
The form is filed after tutoring. The student fills in Items 1 to 13, the tutor certifies the sessions and charges, and the school's certifying official completes the school items. Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the course professor or instructor also signs.
The PDF has three pages: the application, the instructions and the regional office addresses. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
