'09 BAH Rates to Sweeten New GI Bill

Week of December 22, 2008

The new BAH increase will result in an increase in the value of the Post 9/11 GI Bill when it goes into effect in August 2009. It is important to note that the increase in the housing stipend will differ from school to school, for example a student going to school in San Francisco will see the Post 9/11 stipend increase 10 percent from $2,512 to $2,763 ( an increase of $251 a month). A student in Miami will see the stipend increase from $1,707 to $1,798 (a $91 increase).  To learn more, read the full blog post on Military.com.
