The program that you can get money is a program that was offered while you were in (if you are in you SHOULD still be able to get it). I forget the name of it, but it is an addition $600 you put in.
Talk to your VA education center or your educational center on base.
Either will be able to help you.
You can also check your status online via the WAVE verification program.

This should give you any other answers that you need.
NO YOU CAN NOT US ETHE GI BILL TO BUY A HOUSE....he was full of IT!
EDIT TO ADD---
While the VA does send you a check every month and you can use the money to pay living expenses while going to school. The VA DOES check that you are still going and you are maintaining a certain GPA. If for whatever reason you stop going or you fail a class, that money is required to be paid back....
I know all this for a fact as I am currently in school FT using my GI Bill.
They send me my GI Bill money every month and and it is used for whatever I want, I have already paid my tuition.
BUT If I drop out or fail any classes, THEY WILL COME AFTER THEIR MONEY!!!!
The guy who is telling you that you can use it to buy a house is WRONG...that is the VA homeloan and has nothing to do with your GI Bill. It is a COMPLETELY different area. Still with the VA but different department.
Just check with your VA office...you are going to get all kinds of people on here who THINK they know what they are talking about.

If you check the veteran's affairs website at www.va.gov you will find all the answers you need. Quite a few people think tha the GI Bill is just for school. It covers quite a full range of benefits. Buying a house is one way. The VA guarantees a mortgage loan you recieve from a bank. Many times this may save you on teh interest rate, sown payment and points. Once again, check the website and get the straight answers on what you wnat to know.

Most of the answers can be found here: http://www.gibill.va.gov/
The GI Bill is paid in installments depending on how many credit hours you take. You can use that money for anything, even if you don't need it for tuition.
