Additional Information

The Digital GI Bill project (collaboration between VA Education & Accenture Federal Services) is looking to improve the Veteran and Veteran family member experience for more easily finding the correct education application they should apply for and starting that application faster. While there are many potential entry points to education application forms (i.e. Google, Find a Form tool, the eligibility page within the edu hub) - We are specifically looking to improve the "How to Apply" wizard which has been well-documented as a pain point in the Veteran education journey.

At this time, EDU Product Owners have consensus on a new 'tool' that would live as a component on existing How to Apply and Eligibility pages. While we're not entirely sure the full scope of our updates, we believe it will impact the look and feel of those pages on Va.Gov and likely introduce a new-ish tool to the design system.

We look forward to the collaboration cycle's insight and feedback as we take on this update!

I acknowledge that I must submit this form as an Epic and notify the cms-team user group in the cms-support Slack channel with a link to the Epic that is created.
