On June 25, 2019, the Office of Education and Employment unveiled their new Veterans Application Tracking System, or VATS, to Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Larry Herke.
In development since October 2017, the newly released VATS modernizes the paper-filling method used previously. Veterans will now be able to apply for, manage, and receive updates on their benefit applications from the online portal.
Education and Employment staff provided Commissioner Herke with a demonstration of the System as they worked to finalize the program.
“Commissioner Herke was very interested in the innovation and security of the new system,” stated Director of Education and Employment Dave Bellefeuille.
With its online status, VATS facilitates the application process while providing enhanced security and online-record keeping.
Veterans can begin their applications, manage their accounts, or learn more about the system by going to www.gibill.mn.gov.
