On April 16, 2024 the Supreme Court of the United States decided that if you served at least two periods of service-one that qualifies for the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and another that qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (PGIB)-you may be able to receive additional GI Bill benefits.
Beneficiaries who paid into and qualified for the Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty (Chapter 30) and met the requirements for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) through separate periods of service, may use benefits under both programs for a total combined period of 48 months.
You may calculate an estimate of your benefits by using the Benefit Estimator Tool provided by www.va.gov.
*Note, this estimate is for demonstration purposes only. Your estimate may vary from the
demonstration provided. Please use the estimate tool from www.va.gov to generate your estimate.
Veterans with two separate qualifying periods of service may be entitled to additional months of benefits, up to a combined 48-month maximum. Eligibility depends on your individual service history.
1. Extended GI Bill Coverage
Veterans who contributed to the Montgomery GI Bill (Chapter 30) and later qualified for the post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) through separate periods of service can now use both programs for a total of up to 48 months of benefits.
2. Updated Housing Allowance
With the new updates, the housing allowance (MHA: Monthly Housing Allowance) is based on the ZIP code of the campus where you attend and the current VA rate year. Use the VA’s comparison tool for an estimate specific to your situation.
3. Support for Careers in High-Demand Fields
GI Bill benefits may be used for training in growing industries such as IT and integrative health. This allows veterans to pursue new career paths with tuition support
The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP) offers short-term education and training into a high-demand career path for veterans who are unemployed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
