Answer 2

With the new version, a portion of the GI bill can be transferred (only for Army spouses) only if the following apply:

Your husband has been in the Army for more than 6 years.

Your husband must re-enlist for a minimum of 4 years, and qualify for a bonus.

Your husband chooses to transfer a portion of his GI Bill to you upon reenlisting, INSTEAD of taking the bonus he qualifies for.

His retention NCO can provide you with the paperwork to apply if the above qualifications are met.

Answer 3

short answer: NO spouses may not use the GI Bill.

Long answer: a very small number of Army MOSs allow for anyone who is an E6 to transfer part of their GI Bill to a spouse or family member. but they must also re enlist. I believe there are 4 MOSs that qualify for this program.

Answer 4

The old GI Bill was finally made transferable to a point (limited) but that program is history now. Not sure about the newer version of it; check with the educational services officer on your base or the Family Services people.

Answer 5

here's some of the information...hope it helps

GI Bill Transferability

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, added the feature of transferability to the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB) allowing servicemembers to transfer their benefit to one or more of their dependents. However, each military service has sole discretion to determine if that service will offer the transferability of entitlement option.

Transferability Eligibility

To be eligible, individuals must meet the criteria shown in the paragraph below plus any additional requirements the service may add.

To qualify you must be on active duty and meet the following criteria:

1. You must complete six years of service in the Armed Forces.
2. Either have a critical military skill designated by the appropriate Secretary for purposes of transferability OR have a military specialty designated by the appropriate Secretary for purposes of transferability as required.
3. Enter into an agreement to serve at least four more years as a member of the Armed Forces.

Note: This agreement might be for fewer years than the individual’s reenlistment agreement but it must be for at least four years. For example, an individual could re-enlist for six years but agree to serve four years to meet requirements for transfer of entitlement.

How wonderful for you woman, to have an opportunity to become part of a Professional Life in service. I am only sorry that me being in Holland cannot add to your administrative effort, to apply for funds that are obviously kept in reserve, to be applied for maintaining continuance of vital importance to the future of that army.
My country has closed down facilities and compounds by the dozens, moved by the Political Disaster Plan in Action.

My eldest who is by no means not intelligent, even though he never finished High school. We have an Army recruiting office in town, that I helped build in the nineties during part of my professional career, when I held a job as civil servant with the employment department.

You being allowed to study on G.I. funds coming from a bill, that involves active commercial activity of Army Organization specially aimed ad involving Family in the effort, would probably strengthen the fundamental structure of such an army greatly. This gives me the thought, that a United Nations Army Organization, is a next step for our our Global Politicians, to argue about.

Answer 7

As of right now you cannot use your husband's GI Bill, but there is a bill in congress that will eventually grant this. I don't know when though.

Answer 8

No you cannot use your husbands GI Bill.

Thje Army canceled the transfer program after 6 months.

Answer 9

I don't think you can, or should be able to use the GI Bill. What you may be able to use is Tuition Assistance, which is different.

Answer 10

You should be able to use your husband's G.I. Bill, if the school you wish to attend is accredited.
