I did the same thing, got my Associates for dirt cheap. Then utilized my GI bill for my BA and currently using it for my MA. Just waiting to get my $1200 Montgomery refund once it’s all said and done!
VR&E can go as long as a Ph.D as long as you have a clear justifiable educational plan. Your VR&E counselor should help you with that, but they are not all the same. Some will try to hinder you or don't know their jobs (they really don't). Get a good VR&E counselor. If you the one you got is not being helpful, ask for another one. In my experience, what was taking months for my VRC to process, only took a few hours for another counselor to do. Just make sure you do your part and complete your paperwork correctly and in time.
1) I thought the G.I bill was only up to 100k? 2) Doesn’t the G.I bill only cover around 15k a semester/or 30k a yr? What if your tuition is more annually
I’m using my gi bill for this emt course the va is paying for books and tuition but they won’t pay housing bc the school is to short. Has anybody have this problem?
Used my GI bill on my last enlistment (‘16-‘19) to fill the gaps from TA. I knew as a deck seaman turned Construction Mech., getting out and supporting a family without a bachelors was not an option. First job out, with my new degree and some certs, landed me an IT DoD contractor joke for 20k more than my E-5 with bennys paycheck.
Ive been in active duty for 6 years and about to switch to the army reserves. Is using my Post 9/11 GI Bill a good idea. Do I still get BAH and Stipend or no?
I have a question. I get our in four months, before I joined I was living with my grandparents. I plan to go back and live with them while I go to school. I’m I still able to get BAH ?
Does the GI bill BAH pay differently with dependents and without dependents ? If I take 4 classes in state university, only one class is in person, all the other classes are online, will I get full percent of GI Bill BAH?
Hey, I was medically discharged last year and didn’t know I was suppose to transfer my POST 911 GI Benefits before discharging. What can I do now to transfer them to my dependents. I will never used them if I can transfer them
I'm not sure if it's different for those medically retired but for regular (Retirement or ETS) transfer of benefits there is a service requirement of an additional 4 years to transfer.
Thank you so much for this information. What I would like to know is where you got your information from as far as the numbers such as the actual cap out amount that the GI bill will pay and the actual amount for Books and stipends. Like where did you pull the numbers from? . I wanted to go dig in do some extensive read watch myself. Thanks I’m advance!
I’m new to all this so sorry for my ignorance. Question: is this bill a one time thing? Or can I use this through out my years in schooling if I decide to stay in school for more than my associates … TIA
Is there any way to serve 4 years in the military, and get your bachelors by the time you get out, or is associates about as far as you can go with tuition assistance?
A bit hard to have the flexibility to do 12-15 credit hours per semester while also at the mercy of the militaries requirements. It’s like working two full time jobs where one will always be the more important. I was able to get a lot done via TA but I’d say full out bachelors in just four years is a tall task.
Hello Sir, I got a question. Can veterans simultaneously have benefits of 9/11 GI Bill for college and VA Home Loan? Or they gotta choose only one from them.... Hopefully get your answers and I wish you everything best and blessed
So I get out in 5 months. I plan on using my GI bill to get my associates in welding at a trade/community college school (Columbus state community college) Do I need to be taking a certain amount of credits to receive BAH?
Like how many credits is considered full time? If I’m going to trade school I don’t have all those stupid history, English classes ect. Therefore I will only be in one class (welding) 3-4 days a week. Does that count as full time?
Does the $1000 book stipend available to online students? Last year i was "in Class' and i got the book stipend early in January. Have not got it yet this January...
Often times that may mean the VA hasn’t sent your tuition money to your school. Book stipend is dependent on percent of full time student or not. So you should get $$
Is there a time frame to use the hi bill cause my spouse is 100 percent disabled but he retired about 20 years ago and never used the gi bill was wondering if my kid could use it
No. They didn't do the transferability for older GI bills, just the 2008 Ch 33. Check on your state VA benefits. Many states offer free or reduced tuition to children of disabled veterans attending state schools.
Anyone know if CHM 080 is covered under the GI bill? From what I understand "remedial" classes, classes under 100, aren't covered. But CHM080 is required for a couple classes I need.
If it is *required*, it possiby will, but you may need a letter from the school for the SCO to upload. Right out of the SCO HBK REMEDIAL AND DEFICIENCY COURSES... "These courses can be certified as part of an approved program, but only for students for whom a verifiable need has been established. Keep test results and other documents in the student’s file that support the student’s need for remedial and deficiency courses. " "Chapter 30, 33, and 1606: Entitlement is charged for all remedial and deficiency training. Therefore, R/D credits do not need to be certified separately in the R/D column in Enrollment Manager."
So say like my Tuition is only 6-7k per semester…if the GI Bill gives me more than 20k does that mean I’ll get reimbursed every semester the difference ?
I actually had this happen! Whatever state you were stationed in, they give you a one year grace period. MAKE SURE TO BECOME A RESIDENT IN THAT STATE ASAP. I didn’t - and was going to have to pay out of state for my second year - so I moved home.
there's a cap on TA. i want to finish school i only have 36cc left to earn Bachelors. They only let us take 2 courses at a time. I don't qualify for FASFA and I can afford to pay for classes out of pocket.
Hello! So my current situation is I am currently serving in the Marine Corps but I want to get the jump on starting to use my post 9/11 bill but I don't exactly know how to use it without wasting opportunities. I actually want to study abroad in Japan but I can't seem to find the right resources telling me how. My contract doesn't end for a while but I just want a plan for not only transitioning out of the Marine Corps but to have a plan for being able to go back to college abroad.
Will T32 502 (F) (B) (1) orders count toward the post 911 GI Bill? I cant seem to get a straight answer from researching the VA's website. While it does site 502 F orders for response to national emergency, im still concerned. I recently applied for my COE and selected this now im afraid im going to lose my 1606. If im not approved.
Unfortunate when you apply for post 911 they aggregate all the way back to to when the bill started and give you 15 years from that date even though you continue to serve.
Always use your TA first. Talk to the state education office. That way you'll maximize your education possibilities and not lose your MHA (BAH at E5 w/dep) you get when not on active duty.
Hello, I enlisted in Dallas, TX and now stationed in Barksdale AFB, LA and I want to go to UT Austin and I was scared to use my benefits after leaving the military for the mere reason of leaving the military not being able to finish college or afford it and pay for it and well job security as well, in my AF Career, I have the Montgomery bill but the Post 9-11 sounds like it pays more, not sure if the Montgomery CAPS out the same as the 9-11 bill, but what I am in doubt now is the hazelwood act, you said they cant combine the benefits, so if I use my 9-11 bill which im going to switch over to, and be in the yellow ribbon program to reduce costs, I get my bachelors(presuming I use TA to finish associates while still in the military and all credits are accepted to grad school), try to continue to my masters I would still have couple of benefits/semesters left almost 2 years or exactly 2, will I still be able to use the 150hrs from the Hazelwood after all of my VA benefits have been used just as a Texas enlisted veteran? maybe towards a phd or another bachelors
Yellow ribbon does not apply to you if you are going to a public state university like UT Austin. Use the Post-911 GI Bill to finish your Bachelors, then the remaining for any Masters. You can use Hazelwood after, but you won't get housing allowance. Yes you technically could go up to PhD with Hazelwood. HW Act does not cover books or supply fee either
It's pretty good, but I like the Illinois.Veterans grant because it covers a hundred percent tuition plus you can live off your g I bill BAH. I also. Recommend that when you're getting out to talk Is with the schools va rep to get an ace Transcript, that way, it will take whatever military education.You have and transfer to severe education for credits.

Correction to this video. The GI Bill covers 100% for only Public University. You will receive a cap of 26,381.37$ for Private school.
Per year or total pay out?
They just raised the cap to $27,100 for this school year.
