What is the Post-9/11 GI Bill?
The Post 9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education and housing to individuals
with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals
discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received
an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill will become effective for training on or after August 1, 2009.
The amount of support that an individual may qualify for depends on where they live
and what type of degree they are pursuing. For a summary of Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits,
see the benefit comparison chart.
Approved training under the Post-9/11 GI Bill includes graduate and undergraduate
degrees, and vocational/technical training. All training programs must be offered
by an institution of higher learning (IHL) and approved for GI Bill benefits. Additionally,
tutorial assistance, and licensing and certification test reimbursement are approved
under the Post- 9/11 GI Bill.

For veterans:
- How does this bill compare to other GI Bills?
The Post-9/11 GI Bill expands the number of people who qualify for education support
from the VA. To see specific information about how this benefit compares to other
education support bills, please visit the benefit comparison page.
- How much tuition support could I receive if I qualify?
Tuition support is based upon the highest in-state tuition charged by an educational
institution in the state where the educational institution is located. To find out
what the maximum in-state tuition would be for your state, visit the tuition and fees page.
- What could I receive for a housing allowance if I qualify?
The housing allowance is determined based on where your school is located. For more

a main campus in the U.S.) the BAH rate is fixed at $1,333.00 for 2009.

I live. Is there any other form of assistance for me?
