CORRECTION: At 5:38 we mention that Veterans can receive up to $1,000 for books each semester. We meant to say $1,000 per SCHOOL YEAR. Apologies that we misspoke, please enjoy the video!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys that are REAL post 9/11 vets like me Oct-2001 to Oct 2004 got screwed on this. Mine expired post 15 years after discharge. and I just found out that everyone that served after 2013 have *ZERO* expiration attached. Thanks Congress for making sure your real post 9/11 vets get left out because they didn't collect it in time. BTW I did the GI bill extension and collected $0 from it. What a waste, and sorry I thought better of how Congress would treat its vets. Especially now when I really need it the most.
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!
Hello, At minute 11:22 in the video, Bethany refers to having at least 10 years of service at the time your TEB was approved. My TEB was approved in 2014, but they (N1 Admin) made me add a Page 13 saying I would complete 4 more years. By 2014, I had a total of 25 years of service in the Navy. I was honorably discharged in 2015, so the VA was told by DoD/DoN that I didn't complete my commitment. Does anyone know where this 10 years of service is documented? I need to get this turned around so my children can use the 9/11 GI Bill. Thanks, Ken
so if we have kids after 10 years of service and already out of military without ever put information on deers is not possible to transfer it? and if so can you explain more about that case ? Thanks!
Is this true I was told because i used my gi bill before 2013 that I don’t get the forever gi bill that my gi bill has an expiration date which is 2026 according to the VA
I served a little over 18 months active duty from a deployment with the National Guard to Afghanistan, a returned to Drill status and was medically discharged from the National Guard for service connected disabilities related to my combat deployment. I am currently at the 70% tier for the 18 month deployment, is there a way to get this upgraded to 100%. I have called the help line at the VA a couple times and no one seems to know how to do this.
Do you know if I can use my GiBill to cover both a bachelor's and graduate degree AT THE SAME TIME? The school I currently go to allows you to do this if you have less than 15 hrs left. But will the GiBill allow me to do this? So I have 119hrs so far and to graduate I need 122hrs. But I am wanting to jump into my graduate degree.
Good afternoon, I was medically retired out of the Army. Is there anyway I can still transfer my benefits to my 2 sons? I was told while retiring that I would not be able to transfer these to my boys.

Prior Service here. Was planning to use Post 9/11 for Union Electrician on the job training. But I also was thinking about joining the National Guard and using tuition assistance to attend a university? Can you use both at the same time?
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.
Great video. So much useful info especially the scholarship for STEM students. Sadly her "ums" and "uh" are very distracting. Thank you for the information
12 months active duty service only gets you 60% of GI bill. The calculator is on the VA website. If you served on active duty for LESS THAN 36 MONTHS you are NOT eligible for 100% of the GI post 9/11. Okay video but there is some misinformation on there.
The information provided about getting full benefits after one year of service is incorrect. You need to serve at least 36 months of ACTIVE DUTY time to receive the full benefit. Don't know where she got the 1 year from. Between 30 months and 36 months: 90% of the full benefit Between 24 months and 30 months: 80% of the full benefit Between 18 months and 24 months: 70% of the full benefit Between 6 months and 18 months: 60% of the full benefit Between 90 days and 6 months: 50% of the full benefit

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

Nice video.
Once I apply and am accepted into a college, do I apply for benefits before or after registering for classes? Or does it matter?
so if we have kids after 10 years of service and already out of military without ever put information on deers is not possible to transfer it?
and if so can you explain more about that case ?
Thanks!
Great video, insights, and information. Sincerely appreciated.
Thanks to both of you! Very helpful.
Is this true
I was told because i used my gi bill before 2013 that I don’t get the forever gi bill that my gi bill has an expiration date which is 2026 according to the VA
$1000 per year for books and supplies, not semester. Unless things have changed.
Thank you for pointing this out!
What if im getting medically discharged? Am i still able to receive GI bill benefits?
And what about a general under honorable conditions after serving 3 plus years. I never got unemployment. Please advise. I paid my dues.
The edith north roger stem or whatever benefit is for the people that show promise in making war equipment
If I'm in the reserves but I serve on deployment am I qualified for it?
If i only have a few credits left on my post 9, for example 5 credits, will my semester be paid for even though i exceed my credits available?
Great video, incredibly helpful

Are you trying to get an increase in disability?

Good afternoon, I was medically retired out of the Army. Is there anyway I can still transfer my benefits to my 2 sons? I was told while retiring that I would not be able to transfer these to my boys.
if they are under 26 and registered as dependents they are eligible to receive the benefits.
So if you you used the Montgomery GI bill from enlisting just prior to the 911 incident... Are you still eligible for the post 911 GI bill?
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.

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

So I know officers have to have a bachelors to get in but does an officer qualify for the 9-11 GI bill to use for a masters?
Yes
Great video. So much useful info especially the scholarship for STEM students.
Sadly her "ums" and "uh" are very distracting. Thank you for the information
12 months active duty service only gets you 60% of GI bill. The calculator is on the VA website. If you served on active duty for LESS THAN 36 MONTHS you are NOT eligible for 100% of the GI post 9/11. Okay video but there is some misinformation on there.

Between 18 months and 24 months: 70% of the full benefit
Between 6 months and 18 months: 60% of the full benefit
Between 90 days and 6 months: 50% of the full benefit
So what about a general discharge
you can still use it
I couldn't use mines. I had a general under honorable conditions. I paid for it. Please help me.
That scholarship is only for undergrad
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.
Do you have an email address i can contact you at? i have a couple of questions.
They dont because they do not have the money
If us all 36 months of post 911 can u then us g i bill.
i'm pretty sure no. You get one or the other but make sure you check it out.
Thanks
