		<description><![CDATA[Q: Hi, my daughter has been utilizing my husband&#8217;s GI Bill benefits for tuition and housing allowance at a private university. Last year, her freshman year, the benefits were paid at a higher rate, but this year she was subject to the cap&#8211;$14,000 in her case, because she&#8217;s eligible at the 80 percent rate. The VA paid the entire $14,000 for the fall term, and she received housing allowance during that term. My concern is this: will she continue to receive the housing allowance for the rest of the year&#8211;winter and spring terms&#8211;even though her VA benefits have been used <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/if-you-reach-your-tuition-cap-in-the-first-semester-do-you-get-anything-for-the-second-one.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

done Q: I am medically retiring from the AF, effective in 20+ days. I applied for the Post 9-11 and initiated a TEB application. I received a reply from AFPC stating &#8220;Sir, you are currently unable to fulfill your ADSC. Please extend your enlistment so that you can fulfill your commitment, and then we can process your application. I am medically retiring, of course I&#8217;m unable to fulfill. But I should still be eligible after serving 17+ years, correct? Besides, I was briefed in TAPS and multiple other agencies to include the VA and the Ed Center that I was <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/shouldnt-i-still-be-eligible-for-the-post-911-gi-bill-transfer-benefit-after-serving-17-years.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Q: Recently received my Certificate of Eligibility for Ch 33 benefits &#8211; 14+ months remaining as a result of previously utilizing 21+ months of Ch 30 benefits.

		<description><![CDATA[Q: I already have my B.S. however the graduate program I am trying to get into requires some pre-requisite classes that weren&#8217;t required for my B.S. I am currently working on them now and would like to take some of them at a different university than my home university. How do I go about doing this? I am using my Chapter30 benefits at the moment.

A: What you are trying to do falls under the parent/secondary school agreement. Under that agreement, your school that will issue your degree is the parent school. The other school where you want to take classes <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/can-i-use-my-chapter-30-benefits-at-two-different-schools-at-the-same-time.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: I&#8217;m the child of a soldier who I believe is covered by the GI bill and I was just wondering if there was any way him and I both could be covered by the GI bill?
A: I’ll say yes, initially provided he is still serving and has the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Why is that important? Because if he has the Montgomery GI Bill, it never had a dependent transfer option to it and two if he is not still serving, then he can’t make a Post 9/11 GI Bill transfer request.

		<description><![CDATA[Q: When I enlisted I signed up for the Army SLRP, and as per regulation, opted out of the MGIB. My question is am I still obligated to pay into the MGIB for the first 12 months of service to receive payments from the SLRP?
A: No, they are two entirely separate programs. It does not cost you anything monetarily when you opt for the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). What it costs you to use that program is three years of military service. Over those course of those three years, each year the Army will pay 1/3 of each qualifying <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/am-i-obligated-to-pay-into-the-mgib-to-receive-payments-from-the-slrp.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: Can you tell me the differences between the MGIB and the Post 9/11 and which one would be better for me once I get out the Army.
A: If you had asked this question before August 1, 2011, I would have said it depends on your educational goal. The reason? The Post 9/11 GI Bill would not pay for many of the non-degree programs where the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) would pay.
However, now after the implementation of GI Bill 2.0, the MGIB and Post 9/11 GI Bills almost mirror each other as far as the training each pays.

		<description><![CDATA[Q: I am serving a 3-year, 33-week enlistment under the Student Loan Repayment Program.  After my three-year mark, will I begin qualifying for Post 9-11 benefits prior to ETS?  Thank you for your help in understanding my eligibility!

A: Once you signed up for the Student Loan Repayment Program, you incurred a 3-year obligation, as you noted. The issue is you can’t serve your three-year obligation and acquire GI Bill benefits for the same 3-year enlistment period. So in effect, you will only have 33 weeks of Post 9/11 GI Bill eligibility at the end of your first term <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/after-my-enlistment-under-slrp-will-i-start-to-qualify-for-the-post-911-gi-bill.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>
