Frequently asked questions
How is the GI Bill housing allowance calculated?
The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays a monthly housing allowance based on the ZIP code of your school and set at the E-5-with-dependents BAH rate, prorated by your rate of pursuit. Online-only study pays about half the national average.
Does the GI Bill housing allowance change by location?
Yes — it’s tied to your school’s location, so a campus in a high-cost area pays more. Your benefit tier (40–100%) also scales the amount.
