dependent, the number of months of entitlement transferred to each 
dependent, and the period (beginning date or ending date) for which the 
transfer will be effective for each designated dependent. VA will use 
the information shown on DOD Form 2366-1 to determine whether the 
dependent qualifies to receive education benefits under the transfer of 
entitlement provision of law.
