Does a girlfriend qualify for anything when a veteran?
Your question is incomplete. That being said, we'll try to anticipate where you were going with it, and give an answer based on that anticipation. Assuming you're referring to the girlfriend of a veteran, they're not entitled to anything. No educational benefits, no SGLI benefits, nothing. A spouse or child would be; a boyfriend or girlfriend is not. If the girlfriend is the veteran, she is entitled to benefits - her boyfriend (or girlfriend, if applicable) would not be.
