eBenefits.Va.Gov – If you are looking to further your education and are attached to the military in any way, make sure you take full advantage of your military education benefits, specifically the GI Bill . Don’t let it go to waste. Here are some of the basics of what you should know about your military fn education benefits fn and what they can do for you.
The GI Bill is actually a variety if bills in place to help active military, veterans and their family fn members pay for a higher level of education. This involves financial assistance for education-related expenses such as tuition, books, supplies and housing allowances.
David Munõz from Colorado Springs, former Senior Airman/E4 of the United States Air Force, has this to say about the Post 9/11 GI Bill that he is currently using to pay for a 2 year educational program: fn
“The Government pays my school directly for my tuition and fees, sends me a $500 stipend every semester for books, and gives me a monthly living allowance based on my zip code. All of this allows me to attend school full-time and focus on studies without having to work a full-time job. It’s working out great for me.” eBenefits.Va.Gov
Top fn 5 Benefits of the GI Bill The money is totally fn non-taxable. It works for a variety of educational program types. There is usually enough money to cover all educational expenses, and depending on the program, living expenses as well.

Under Chapter 30, Active Duty members enroll and pay $100 per month for 12 months; and are then entitled to receive a monthly education benefit once they have completed a minimum service obligation. Under Chapter 1606, a reservist must be actively drilling and have a 6-year obligation in the Selected Reserve to be eligible.”
The US Department of Veterans Affairs explains REAP as a program that “provides educational assistance to members fn of National Guard and reserve components – Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) – who are called or ordered to active duty service in response to a war or national emergency as declared by the President or Congress.”
