Correct, part 137 is a no go. The Post 9/11 GI bill covers 100% of costs up to the annual limit at part 141 AND 142 schools. Buyer beware: books are not included (may be negotiable depending on who you talk to at the VA) and neither is the examiners fee for a checkride.

What gives, the VA won't cover $400 and a good bottle of scotch? What's this world coming to...

Yeah Accessibleaviation.com is good. Also, under 9/11 GI bill you can get your check ride fee reimbursed as a test fee. You'll have to claim this with the VA yourself. It'll cost you a month of benefits, but if you're not using the 9/11 GI bill for anything else then it's a good way to get that $400 or whatever back. It doesn't count against the academic year cap for flight training as far as I know.

Yes, that's how it works. You pay first and then claim the test fee after the fact with the VA. You can claim the ATP practical as a certification test. You can also claim the written ATP test as a separate certification test.
