Veterans eligible under chapter 33 (the new, post-9/11 GI bill) are generally entitled to 36 months of educational assistance. Veterans who have previously attended school on other forms of the GI Bill, such as Chapter 30 (MGIB), Chapter 1607 (REAP) or Chapter 1606 (Select Reserve GI Bill), may still qualify for the new benefits. Usage of Chapter 30 (MGIB) benefits is counted directly against the 36 month total of Chapter 33 (post-9/11) benefits. For example, if a veteran attended school on Chapter 30 (MGIB) for nine months and then elects to use Chapter 33 (post-9/11) that veteran will have 27 months of remaining eligibility.
