Will the recent activation of reservists for Operation Enduring Freedom entitle them to the higher Montgomery GI Bill education benefit rates enjoyed by active-duty members?
A Reservist would not ordinarily qualify on the basis of activation alone. However, a service member can qualify at the active-duty rate with as little as two continuous years on active duty if that tour is followed within a year by four years in the Reserves. Congress is continuing to look at the issue of benefits for activated Reservists.
