The Veteran's Administration determines your eligibility and, if you are qualified, the VA will issue you a certificate of eligibility to be used in applying for a VA loan. Eligibility applications can involve:
an original determination of eligibility for the home loan benefit
a request to replace a lost certificate of eligibility
a request for restoration of the benefit after payment in full of a previous VA home loan
issuance of a certificate reflecting a current outstanding loan for refinance purposes
In each case, VA Form 26-1880, Request for a Certificate of Eligibility for VA Home Loan Benefits, is the correct application.
