The Post-9/11 GI Bill Explained 

I was active duty for 30 months honorable discharge. I only received 90% benefits from the post 911 gi bill. Was i supposed to receive the full 100%? If so please let me know. I'll gladly claim it. In this video is said by Bethany that to receive the full 100% you would need to serve 12 months or more. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@sebaortiz9890 that is correct. You received the correct amount.

Thank you for pointing this out!

I am in the same boat! I was medically discharged at the end of 2004 and I was misinformed by my military counterparts...I was told it didn't expire! I had toddlers when the Post 911 benefit was created and I was so glad that the no expiration was there. I wasn't forced to try to juggle college, young children, and full time work. Since then, I've PCS'd twice as a civilian. Now that I have teens and homesteading I can finally focus on school. I went to start the VA process and found out that my GI Bill benefits were on some sort of hold, so I filled out the form to get it started. I just received a letter from my inquiry stating that my benefits expired after 15 years after discharge and it gave me 3 appeal options (I have 30 days or forever hold my peace), but I doubt I will ever see it. I too plussed up with an extension, without using it. This is very unfair to female veterans who have children and us veterans who served during 911 and the inital following years! This should never expire for those who were actually serving during the early parts of the war, especially those on the frontlines or supported and deployed within theater. Veterans 12 years after the war received greater benefits than those who were directly impacted and served during the initial conflict!

So it is true

They told me because I used my gi bill before 2013 that I don’t qualify for the forever gi bill so I have 24 months to use before 2026 now

if they are under 26 and registered as dependents they are eligible to receive the benefits.

I’m pretty sure it’s 3 years active duty for the full 100%

Are you trying to get an increase in disability?

Yes

This is just my understanding: The State TA and GI Bill (both Montgomery and Post 9-11) are two separate pools of money; one from the state and one from a federal fund. The primary function of both is to cover your tuition, however, the GI Bill allows you to receive a stipend every month on top of the tuition payment to the school. In layman’s terms: Both cover tuition, but only the GI Bill pays YOU. There would be no benefit to using both because the school is receiving the money for the classes regardless. If anyone knows differently, please correct me.

I would argue it could be beneficial to use both at the same time solely for the fact you’ll receive money from the VA while you’re in school which can lighten the load to work and earn money. Both the Montgomery and Post 9/11 can be used in conjunction with the State Tuition Assistance.

I thought it can be used for graduate school too. Isn’t it?

@@chloer.5686 if you get you're degree in service on TA(or before) yes.

@@SarahWilk100 correct.

They dont because they do not have the money

Didn't bother me... i just appreciated the info like you said :)

you can still use it

I couldn't use mines. I had a general under honorable conditions. I paid for it. Please help me.

i'm pretty sure no. You get one or the other but make sure you check it out.

Thanks
