额外的资源

对于许多符合条件的退伍军人, the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides more attractive benefits than other veteran education benefit programs. 然而, 退伍军人 should carefully review all their options before making the irrevocable decision to apply for and utilize Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. 在考虑不同的场景时, students should pay careful attention to the differences that occur when changing from full-time to half-time enrollment status, as well as to the amount of the monthly basic allowance for housing, 这将根据学校的位置而有所不同. 除了审查金钱利益的数额, 学生还应考虑以下几点:

  • 你打算接受什么样的培训或教育?
  • 利用福利的时间框架对你来说重要吗?
  • Are you eligible for the transfer of entitlement benefits through the Post-9/11 GI Bill Program?
  • Do you have remaining entitlement under other VA education programs?

A service member can use CH 1606 and Military 学费 Assistance at the same time if enrolled half-time or greater. 那些休息时间少于一半的人不能把这些好处结合起来.

A service member can use the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Military 学费 Assistance for the same course. 办理完TA的学杂费, 剩余的部分可能由后9/11退伍军人法案支付.

A service member can use the CH 30 GI Bill and Military 学费 Assistance only when TA does not pay for the entire cost of a course. This process is referred to as Top-Up; w在这里after processing TA for the tuition and fees, 剩余的部分可以由ch30 GI法案支付.

For those with 100 percent eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill, it is often the best option to use Post-9/11 instead of IVG or the ING Grant.  然而, for those with less than 100 percent eligibility for Post-9/11 GI Bill, it may be necessary to also use the IVG or ING Grant to help cover the remaining tuition and fee charges not covered by the VA. 7月1日生效, 2015, for 退伍军人 who are eligible for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits at less than 100% and who use those benefits with the IVG Grant or ING Grant programs in the same term, the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits will be applied first (VA will be the first payer), and any remaining eligible tuition and fees would be covered by IVG Grant and/or ING Grant, and the amount of IVG and ING Grant benefits used will be prorated based on the percentage of the charges that are covered by the ISAC programs.

Military 学费 Assistance is granted to a service member with the intention of attending school for the duration of a course. A service member who withdraws may no longer be eligible for the full amount of this award. 遵守国防部(DOD)的政策, unearned TA funds will be returned on a prorated basis through at least the 60% portion of the period for which the funds were granted. 助教基金在入学期间按比例赚取. When a service member stops attending a course, unearned funds are returned to the individual branch. 如果这是由于服兵役而发生的, will not result in a debt to the service member for the returned portion in compliance with the DOD policy.
