Check My VA Eligibility

Who may be eligible?

Veterans, active-duty service members, certain Guard and Reserve members, and some surviving spouses may qualify. Your COE establishes VA eligibility, separate from loan approval.

Does no down payment mean no money at closing?

No. Closing costs, prepaid expenses and a funding fee may still apply. Your Loan Estimate shows the cash you’ll need.

What about the VA funding fee?

This one-time fee varies by loan type, prior use and purchase down payment. Qualifying borrowers with service-connected disability benefits and certain surviving spouses may be exempt. Your lender will verify your fee and exemption status.

Can I use my benefit again?

Yes. Remaining entitlement and restoration requirements affect your options. Your loan officer can review your COE with you.

Is Hero Loan part of the VA?

No. Hero Loan operates under Golden Empire Mortgage, Inc., a private lender. The VA guarantees part of qualifying loans and does not endorse Hero Loan.
