It depends.. If you are under the age of 57, and you have not remarried, and your deceased spouse would have been eligible for VA Benefits, then yes, you would qualify.. Best way to find out for sure is to apply for an eligibility certificate.. You can do that by following these directions.. http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/docs/Veteran_registration_coe.pdf I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

You will need to check with the VA, because there are certain exceptions, but almost always, the widow (or widower) of a combat veteran killed in action is eligible for a VA loan. If you are, you are also most likely eligible to waive the customary VA Funding Fee. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

The surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who dies as a result of service connected injuries may be eligible for a VA loan providing the spouse has not remarried. Also the spouse of an active duty service member who is missing in action (MIA) or is a prison of war (POW) may be eligible.John Schlobohm

Yes as long as you haven't remarried.
