What are the eligibility requirements for the new GI Bill?
The new GI Bill, which is also known as the Post 9/11 GI Bill is only available to Veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001. To receive your full benefits, you must have served in the Armed Forces for 36 or more total months or 30 consecutive days with a disability related discharge since September 11, 2001. Veterans not eligible for the full benefits are still eligible to have lower percentages of their tuition paid.
