The Post-9/11 GI-Bill

The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Changes to the Post-9/11 GI Bill are now available.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill also offers some service members the opportunity to transfer their GI Bill to dependents.
