GI Bill questions?

Question

if the gi bill is 35000 does that mean i will get equal parts of that to cover my schooling or will i get 35000 a year to cover schooling

Answer 1

You will get roughly 1000 a month for schooling for 3 years. If you are active duty the DOD will pay for your classes and equivalency tests that you take without touching your G.I. bill. You have to pay in for one year, $100 a month and if you are Active you have to be in for 3 years w/ an honorable discharge to receive your G.I. bill.

Whether Guard, Reserve, or Active you must receive an honorable discharge to use your G.I. bill. Unless you start using it before you get out of the military.

Answer 2

It means that you will get a set amount per month for a certain number of months (currently 36) until the total is equal to the maximum under the GI Bill law when you go to school (currently 35,000).

But don't forget that you only get it if you paid into the fund as required.

Answer 3

You get a certain amount per month if you are going to school full-time and a smaller amount per month if you are going part-time. You will get paid monthly as long as you are going to school until the money is exhausted which I do believe is somewhere around four years for full-time. You have ten years from the time you get out of the service to start using your GI Bill. It's a great program and well worth your initial investment. Good Luck!

Answer 4

You will get equal parts per month. It depends if you are still in or not. Back in 2000 our great pres started what is called the "TOP UP" program. It is so military men and women can use their GI bill when they are still in. They say that we have 100% TA but it's BS. I am still in the Marines and I had to use TA, and the TOP UP thing. If you are still in you can up your GI bill for $600 but it gives you $45,000.

Answer 5

Hold up if you think you get that every year your crazy. I was in the army and this i s how it works. I f you go to school while in the army which is highly unlikely if you join youll soon find out why the army will pay for it. If you decide after your enlistment is up you want out and you want to then go to college you will get your 35,000, but they will only pay a certain amount each semester. If you want ANY info about the military go to about.com and look under military. It will tell you everything you ever wanted to know good luck

Answer 6

I was under the old GI Bill...I got like $510 a month. Tax free. Pretty sweet.
