- Are you confused about Vocational Rehab benefits? What is Voc Rehab? When can VocRehab be used? In this clip from Ep. 034 of the Former Action Guys Podcast, I discuss the benefit with SDSU VA certifying official, Jose Esparza, to try and clear up some confusion.

@@michaelfagg4922 screw these people called psychiatrists, and let it be that these quacks who are in all actuality desensitizationists, because what talked about is purely desensitization! Now remember fuck you in the name of Donald John Trump!
Thanks for the content guys keep it coming!
No problem! Next interview releases tomorrow morning. Thanks for checking out the podcast 🤙🏼
Very helpful thank you
No problem!
Great video. Thank you!
No problem! Thanks for checking it out and make sure to help spread the word 🤙🏼
This episode warrants a follow up for more specifics. Good generalizing the information though.
I appreciate you checking it out! I'll reach out and see if he's available after the school year ends.I'll see if we can set up a livestream and take questions as well.
@@FormerActionGuys excellent to get anyone started in the process. This is one of if not the hardest program for veterans to get. Any help is greatly appreciated from someone who works with us.
Just got approved , I'm trying to find out how much I will receive for all the perks that come with it
You'll have to ask your VA rep for that info
I switched from the GI to the post 911 with no problems through ebenefits. I had to relinquish my GI bill though. Not sure if I could use it after I’m done with the post 911?
I think that's being decided in the courts right now
so i just had a classmate telll me to use voc rehab for my cybersecurity schooling and save my gi bill....im on my 2nd year of my a.s degree program,input?
I would contact your VA rep at the school you want to attend and talk to them
I am almost complete with getting a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Graphic Design under the Post 9/11.. I want to attend school after I graduate (again) for a seperate career (electrical/mechanical/aerospace) engineering.. have you seen people use VR&E for completely seperate career paths? Thanks.
That's what VR&E sounds like it's for. I would contact the VA rep at the school that you want to attend and talk to them directly before applying.
@@FormerActionGuys thanks for the response! Just wanted to make sure. I’m reading a little more on the “48-month rule” and not sure if that impacts how long you can use VR&E after the GI-Bill. Do you know anything of this sir? Thanks!
I'm sorry. I do not. Thanks for checking out the show though 🤙🏼
I didn’t get the GI Bill. Can I still get VR? I am disabled and will soon retire from my job.
If you are a veteran you can check your benefits on the VA's E Benefits website
So I want to be a social worker, I need a masters and my GI bill only covers a bachelors, I can apply for Vocational Rehab and get the masters? Do I do that through a school or VA office directly?
Your school should have a VA rep assigned to them. If your job requires a Masters degree then you can qualify for VocRehab but you have to show them why it is required. I would contact the VA rep for the school you're applying to and ask them what exact information they need.
If I use up the majority of my post 9/11 leaving roughly 3-4 months left and I am graduated would it be possible to change my field of work going to a trade school that would be 7 months long using about 4 months of Vocational rehab?
Yes, but you have to justify why you're leaving that field for something new. The work increases effects of service related issues, the job market is oversaturated, etc.
Do you get paid any BAH while using Voc Rehab? Or is that only when using GI Bill.
From my understanding. You can rate BAH with VocRehab as long as you have some GI bill months remaining. So you can continue receiving BAH per your area. If you exhaust all your GI bill benefits and go into Voc. You’ll receive a small stipend which is a couple hundred bucks. So best is to plan a year or 2 out before using all your post. Best of luck!
I’m currently on Voc Rehab. I used my GI Bill while attending college and I used most of it up. Once I had 4 months left on my GI bill, I applied to Voc Rehab and yes Juan I continue to receive my BAH. It’s an amazing program brother, go for it!
@@dgjdub7 how did the interview go? I have an idea on what I want to do for my future career but not too sure if I’ll be accepted with my disabilities. What should I expect.
@@joewtfx1996 in the interview you need to be certain and convey why you want to do what you want to do and why you need it due to your disabilities. I will share my experience as an example. I was fired from my job after I was involved in a self-defense incident and my PTSD played a role in using force. Therefore, when I was terminated I found myself unemployed and I had to convey to my VocRehab counselor that in order for me to get a job again in society I needed more education than the average bear in order to be hired. Next year I will complete my bachelors and I will continue to pursue a masters degree. Once again, I have a criminal record now so I need more education in order to be hired. That’s how I conveyed my “need” for Voc Rehab.
@@dgjdub7 thank you for getting back quickly. I also have minor ptsd and sep anxiety. I was in as an infantryman and that mos hardly can contribute to the workforce in the civilian world. I feel like I can’t get a job anywhere unless it involves relocating but i can’t because of my wife and legal issues.
Does Voc Rehab pay for online classes?
Hard to say and depends on your goals. If you have a school in mind then contact their VA rep to answer your specific questions
I am a navy veteran currently employed at va loma Linda I am looking to get training for peer support and work at one of the local vet centers is this a vocational rehab situation. I’m quitting my job at the va.
Voc rehab was a complete waste of time.
Most folks I've talked to had a good experience. Why was yours no good?
@@FormerActionGuys Not a veteran. Civilians with disabilities aren't taken as seriously and all I see online are "veterans" just trying to game the system.
Amazing wow
nice ww1 posters!
Those are on the wall of the SDSU veteran's center. They are pretty sick!

You guys are boring. Sorry I don't use the word nuance in my daily communications. Keep it more down to earth please. You realize that most veterans are at a high-school education level and most aren't even that. I get that you're a minority trying to look intelligent but you can also speak to the common man.
This was useless, skip it.
Thanks for checking it out. Sorry you didn't get anything from it.
Wasn’t for me,
@@FormerActionGuys good video
@@charleshawk6668 thank you!
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Good stuff guys, keep helping Vets!
I wish veterans and the VA would treat Ch. 31 as a rehabilitation program and not as a education program.
If VRE didn’t have the secondary gains it has which are largely monetary wouldn’t see the influx of applicants it has.
Retraining can be important and needed on an individual bases. However, education alone shouldn’t be the primary goal of EVERY applicant.
