Frequently asked questions

How many months of GI Bill do I get?

The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides 36 months of benefits. If you also used another VA education program like the Montgomery GI Bill, the combined lifetime cap is 48 months.

How fast does the GI Bill get used up?

Full-time enrollment uses about one month of entitlement per month of school, so 36 months covers roughly four academic years. Part-time or online-only study uses entitlement more slowly.
