This certificate verifies eligibility for VA home loan benefits, making homebuying more affordable and achievable for eligible Veterans, service members and surviving spouses. With the latest update to the [VA: Health and Benefits mobile app](https://mobile.va.gov/app/va-health-and-benefits), viewing the latest COE has never been more convenient. This enhancement enables eligible Veterans to view their active COE Home Loan Letter in real-time and take the next step toward homeownership. If a Veteran does not have an active COE and wants to use their benefit, or wants to make changes to their active COE, they should work directly with their mortgage lender or through VA.gov. The COE feature was deployed through a phased rollout from March 2–5 to ensure a smooth transition. Activation began with 5% of users on March 2, expanded to 25% on March 3, 50% on March 4, and concluded with full deployment to all users on March 5. This phased approach was intended to ensure minimal disruption throughout the implementation process. This update underscores VA’s commitment to streamlining processes, reducing wait times and empowering Veterans with the tools they need to pursue a [VA home loan](https://news.va.gov/?s=home+loan). The VA: Health and Benefits mobile app is a Department of Veterans Affairs application that continues to modernize the way Veterans view their benefits by providing secure, convenient access to VA benefits and services. From health care appointments to benefit status updates, the app simplifies and improves the Veteran experience.
