Post-9/11 GI Bill Rules Explained

Week of May 11, 2009

With sign-ups for the Post-9/11 GI Bill ready to begin May 1, Defense Department officials are getting word out on the proposed policy regarding the bill's transferability provisions, which will enable enrollees to transfer their benefits to immediate family members. Generally, any enlisted or commissioned member of the armed forces serving on active duty or in the Selected Reserve on, or after, Aug. 1 will be eligible to transfer his or her benefits as long as he or she qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
