Thanks. The book stipend stuff is gonna be a HUGE! boost.and I thank u for covering that part because I already knew about the housing allowance but wasn't sure about the Book stipend. Now I'm better informed. Thanks u
Be careful, The school will not send out the enrollment verification until about the first week of school. Remember what I said in the video, once school has started and you have actually attended classes the school will then verify your enrollment because you have shown up. They need to see that you're actually attending class. They're not going to send it out before classes start because there's no guarantee that you will not drop out before school starts.
Well it depends a lot on what your living situation is and what your looking for as far as living arrangements. A single person living in a 700$-800$ apartment while in school can most certainly budget wisely and live off of Bah. Even more so, if your living rent free with family. However, a more practical answer would be no. It helps a lot but if you are on your own and pay all of your own bills then you will need some other form of income. Keep in mind you only get bah the months that you’re in school so you’ll also have to account for the time in between semesters when you’ll have bills.
IDK about that. Did some calculations and it looks like I'll have to get second income. I'll only get BAH for 5 months(if you're a full time student), so that alone is a problem. If you're studying in a low cost area, that BAH is not going to be enough at all. You better have some savings at least 15K before you get out.
Great question! You ONLY get the monthly housing allowance the months that you are in school. So you will have to calculate expenses for the months you aren't in school. Maybe get a job the months your not in school or take out student loans in addition to the GI Bill to cover expenses.
Do you get an LES ? or some what is coming in and going out? Seems like the monthly stipend is never the same... and is there a way to verify what date the school reports for start/finish semesters?
I am wondering if military do make payback for BAH? My husband and I got married in August and until now going to November, I do not have and see any BAH on LES. I could not tell my husband to move with me to Florida since I am waiting for the BAH first to appear since it will be use for the payment for the rent offbase.
Look into vocational rehab with the VA, they’ll pay for the rest of your school as long as you have some days left. I would definitely contact them now www.va.gov/opa/publications/benefits_book/benefits_chap03.asp
Hey I am currently registered in Devry for 12 Sememster hours. The VA is only covering 3 of them due to 1 of them being a transistional math class because i didn’t do so well on my placement tests. Will i recieve the full BAH?
Is there a requirement for how many classes you have to take a semester? I'm trying to go to school for nursing and I only have 7 pre req classes and they will only allow me to take one or two a semester most likely only one semester because they have to be taken in a certain order.
I understand you can’t receive the POST 9-11 GI Bill BAH if you’re still on active duty. But what if I transferred 100% of it to civilian spouse, can they use it and receive BAH at the same time we are receiving active Duty BAH? I’ve seen several people doing this
Hi, Cammy . My husband has been at BCT about 5 weeks. He's in white phase . There's been 3 deposits on the 1st and 15th. But it seems like it's regular pay . I haven't seen a bah . Will bah payments come as a second deposit after the 1st and 15th ? I'm so confused
I did the same thing. I began terminal leave and my program and I had to call them for my second months pay. Living my best life in Honolulu 🌺 I recommend having a small part time job to help with the little things. Working is so much better when you know you can quit anytime you’d like. Also, online classes only receive $700 a month, but semesters are shorter saving your GI bill months for any needed prerequisites.
Ummmmmm no, I would NOT recommend having a part-time job your first year in law school. In fact, some law schools have you sign a waiver that stipulates that you cannot work more than 20 hours in a week. Other Law Schools stipulate that you CANNOT work at all!! Let me emphasize how rigorous law school is, it is far beyond the rigors of obtaining a bachelor's or master's degree. It's a doctorate-level education if you can help it DON'T WORK!! Trust me you will do a lot better focusing on law school because your grades WILL suffer I've seen it. It's important not only to get into law school but to STAY IN.
I’m not in law school. My medical lab program says you shouldn’t work either but being realistic the GI bill doesn’t stretch that far when you live alone. Speaking on the GI bill it always helps to have a little more income
@@757Princess I understand where you're coming from however, I believe that if you can help it, don't work. I'm not sure of what type of medical program you're in or what level of education it is. It's not as difficult to have a part-time job when you're getting an associate, bachelor's, or master's degree. When I was getting my bachelor's at one point I had three jobs the curriculum is not as stressful. Any law student will tell you not to work there's a reason law schools have this rule in place. But yes, if you're not pursuing a doctoral program, then yes having a job does help and is a great way to cover what the GI Bill doesn't.
I have a question, are you only getting BAH during your school? Like for example once the fall semester ends they will stop giving you BAH? Coz I want to figure it out if after each semester if they still giving you BAH.
Do you know if being married increases the GI bill BAH? Just like actually duty does married to a civilian that is. Or should I assume I am going to receive normal bah
Hey my COE says I’m eligible for 90% is that because I’m still active? I’ll be officially out in December of this year making my total tis 3 years and 16 weeks I plan on attending college January of 2021 but I’m confused on why it says 90% still
The Brother Pill I’m. It sure how my nursing school works but I know for sure it’s 12 credits and it’s still going to be counted as full time so 3 credits per class= 12 CH. that’s how I got the 4 classes.
@@allshadesofamber when you apply and get accepted it’s automatic. Your first check will be on the first of the month after ur first day of school. There’s an online calculator to see how much you should expect.
There’s also at least 500 your entitled to for a book stipend. This will be automatic. Its $1000 annually and automatic but you must be enrolled full time. I say 500 bc it is sometimes broken up into two diff semesters so don’t be alarmed if it’s not the full $1000 out the gate. If you have any more questions, ask away.
