Are there exceptions to the requirement for children and spouses to use transferred benefits in order to be eligible for their WI GI Bill benefits?
If the WI GI Bill eligible child or spouse has fewer than 12 months of eligibility remaining (as of the first day of the academic term in which he or she seeks to enroll) under Chapter 35 (DEA), Chapter 1606 (Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve), or Chapter 1607 (REAP), he or she may be exempt from the requirement to use transferred benefits first.
