Comments on: GI Bill Transferability Rules – Transferring to Dependents http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/06/23/family-transfer-with-the-gi-bill-finalized/ A resource for military veterans to discover the educational opportunities and support being offered through the Post 9-11 GI Bill Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:24:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/06/23/family-transfer-with-the-gi-bill-finalized/#comment-18694 Anonymous Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:24:00 +0000 http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/?p=212#comment-18694  FYI, for those that OTHERWISE qualify to transfer their benefit to a dependent (ie: retired AFTER 1 August 2009), but were not informed, or as in my case were mis-informed, about the transfer rules, please read this Army Times story. It appears that each of the services' Board of Corrections is considering cases on an individual basis: http://www.armytimes.com/careers/college-and-gi-bill/millitary-gi-bill-transfer-rights-091411w/ This is no help to the folks who retired prior to 1 August, 2009...but might possibly help those of us who retired immediately after that date, before the rules were concreted and disseminated to the education centers.  FYI, for those that OTHERWISE qualify to transfer their benefit to a

My question to you is that I have 17 months left on this enlistment. I was told I need 4 years attainability in order to transfer my post 911 GIBILL. I would like to transfer this opportunity to my son. My education is finished and I will not be using it. I recently read an article saying that this could possibly going away. Is there any way I can get this done without losing my option to do so? Will you in the future allow people in my circumstance be able to achieve this before getting rid of this option?   Thank you Hello I have been in for 14.3 years Active Duty USAF TSgt.

Like that was in the out briefing. I have 21 years 11 months. and retired January of 2009. No mention to transfer before I got out either. I have filed an appeal with my congressman and senator. I hope to hear something soon. They act as though our time, and our sacrifice do not count. They couldnt be more wrong. Michael, apparently you have to transfer it before you get out.

Your husband has the GI Bill which i was never and will never be transferable to family members. The GI Bill that IS transferable under certain conditions is the Post 9/11 GI Bill which is what thabove articel is referring to. You had to have been in the military aon or after Sep 11th, 22001 in order to qualify for that one.
