For living veterans, children are eligible. For veterans who are prisoners of war or missing in action, spouses are eligible, and for deceased veterans, surviving spouses and children are eligible. Eligibility for Title 29 education benefits require that veterans meet residency requirements, and requirements are different for living and deceased veterans.
