Post 9/11 GI Bill
VA starts accepting applications for the Post 9/11 GI Bill on May 1, 2009. VA will issue Certificates of Eligibility for eligible applicants and begin making payments on August 1, 2009. Veterans, service members, reservists and National Guard members with active duty service since September 11, 2001, may be eligible for this benefit. Individuals may apply online through the GI Bill website at http://www.gibill.va.gov.
The Post 9/11 GI Bill marks the most expansive increase in veterans' education benefits since World War II. Not only does it provide eligible individuals with college tuition assistance, but for many participants it also provides a housing allowance, a stipend for books and supplies and the option of sharing these benefits with family members. Information about the new program and VA's other educational benefits can be obtained through the website or by calling 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551).
