Josephthe Post 9/11 (chapter 33) GI BILL does not require you to pay into it like the Chapter 30 GI BILL and you will qualify for 100% seeing as you served a total of 3+ years after 9/11/01 Mike no that’s a lie, the requirement for BAH is more than half time with atleast 1 class at the campus (now you will get the partal month’s pro-rated (BAH divided by the days in that month X how many days you are in school) and also at the RATE of Benifits IE if you are 40% then you only get 40% of what you would if you were at the 100% rate

If you have two dependents, and one of them is using your dependent benefits from the Post 9/11 GI Bill, but does not use all of them, you may transfer the remainder to your other child/dependent. Hope this helps! Martin,

They are saying that you have to have eight years of service to collect the BAH. I am pretty sure that this is a rumor, but I have heard it from more than two people.

The active duty soldier and spouse are ineligible for the BAH and book stipend; however, dependent children using transferred benefits are eligible even if the soldier is active duty. I guess have answered my own question, lol. Just wanted to let anyone else know who may have had the same question. Have a great day! Susan Ok, I just looked again and need to clarify.

Has anyone else read something different? I was considering a brick and mortar campus but when I read that part, I decided to start looking at online campuses since I wouldn't be eligle for those benefits anyway. Any information or guidance would be appreciated.
