I am a United States veteran. I already paid for a LEED credentialing exam. Can I get reimbursed for the exam?
If you have applied for and are eligible for education benefits, you can apply for reimbursement of a LEED exam. Apply for reimbursement.
If you haven’t applied for education benefits, you’ll need to send an application for education benefits along with your request for exam reimbursement. Access instructions on how to apply for education benefits.
What is the maximum amount I can be reimbursed from the VA for a credentialing exam?
The GI Benefits Bill indicates that you may receive a VA-approved cost of the exam up to $2,000 per exam. There is no limit to the number of exams you can take and the amount will reduce your remaining months of entitlement based on the cost of the exam that the VA reimburses. You may be reimbursed for retaking an exam that you didn’t pass.
