Short answer
Yes. VA says you can use your VA loan benefit again if you sell or refinance a home you bought with a VA-backed loan, and you may still have entitlement left even if you haven't.
Using it again
VA lists "use your VA loan benefit again if you sell or refinance a home you bought with a VA-backed home loan" among what the purchase loan allows (VA.gov).
Remaining entitlement
If your first VA loan is still open, you may have remaining "bonus" entitlement. VA shows how to calculate it from your Certificate of Eligibility and your county's loan limit (VA.gov). Your funding fee is usually higher after first use (3.3% with less than 5% down, per VA.gov).
