This means that the only way to qualify for family transferability is to serve six or more years and also agree to serve four more years. This is unsettling for several military members and stirs up a debate. On one hand, the benefits are part of the earnings of serving the military and should be available to the spouse and children of someone that's been in the military for 10+ years, regardless of if they're retired. On the other hand, the military needs some form of military retention so that recruitment demands are not as high, and the Post 9/11 GI Bill's family transferability is one way to do it. The previous Montgomery GI Bill did not even allow family transferability.]]> http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/12/30/extensions-for-post-911-gi-bill-transferability-to-end-in-2009/feed/ 6 http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/12/04/gi-bill-expiration-dates/ http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/12/04/gi-bill-expiration-dates/#comments Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:45:05 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/?p=377 Post 9/11 GI Bill?
