Sign up May 1 for the new GI Bill
Anxious to get the ball rolling on your new Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits? You’ll have to cool your heels a bit longer, but not much.
Applications for the new benefit will be accepted by VA beginning May 1.
Applications will be accepted online or by mail, according to VA’s education benefits Web site.
Early enrollments will let VA work out kinks in the process and make it easier to complete enrollment later this summer when the program is fully launched, according to an article by my colleague Rick Maze.
All active-duty service members are expected to receive e-mail notifications that the application process has started. Visit this site for information on how to receive e-mail updates to any of VA’s Frequently Asked Questions about the new GI Bill.
Final rules for the Post-9/11 GI Bill were published in the March 31 Federal Register.
