		<description><![CDATA[Q: Can I get both benefits at the same time &#8211; the GI Bill and Chapter 35?
A: If you are eligible for both, you can get the GI Bill and Chapter 35 consecutively, but not at the same time. That would be known as double-dipping and is not allowed.
If you are using your own Montgomery GI Bill and with three years of service, you would get up to $1,564 per month for up to 36 months.  If you served less than three years, that amount drops to $1,270. Keep in mind with this GI Bill you have to pay <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/can-i-get-both-gi-bill-and-chapter-35-benefits-at-the-same-time.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: I am currently signed up for the old MGIB benefits and have been waiting to transfer over to the Post 9/11 GI Bill until Virginia made its decision regarding its benefits this year. I am a Texas resident interested in attending a graduate level James Madison University distance learning program. Prior to the changes, Virginia had one of the lowest rates out of any state. Would it be possible to attend the University under either of the GI Bills from another state?
A: I can’t specifically locate James Madison distance learning tuition rates, but as a comparison, they are showing <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/what-does-the-post-911-gi-bill-pay-if-i-attend-school-in-another-state-as-a-non-resident.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: My 10-year grace period elapsed as I got out of the Army in 1992. Can I receive any benefits at this time from the GI Bill?

A: Not from the GI Bill you had when you got out in “92”. At that time, you would have had the Montgomery GI Bill and that has a 10-year delimitation date, so it would have expired in 2002.
However, if you meet the requirements below, you may still be able to get in on VRAP training. Congress passed the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 and included in it the Veterans Retraining Assistance <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/if-my-10-year-gi-bill-grace-period-elapsed-can-i-receive-any-benefits-at-this-time.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

A: If you want to talk to somebody, see your Education Office Counselor on post, however, I can give you the basics of transferring Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits right here.
First, to get a transfer request approved, you have to meet the three Post 9/11 GI Bill <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/who-do-i-talk-to-if-i-want-to-switch-to-the-post-911-gi-bill.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: Thanks for your insight on the Post 9/11 GI Bill.  My question is this:  I am active-duty and will continue to be active-duty while my teenage son enters a 4-year university out-of-state in California.  Will he be eligible to receive the BAH stipend while attending school and I am still on active-duty?

A: No he would not get the BAH stipend as you know it, but he would get the Post 9/11 GI Bill Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Being you are still on active duty, your BAH is paid twice a month &#8211; on the 1st and <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/can-my-son-get-the-post-911-gi-bill-housing-allowance-if-im-still-on-active-duty.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: Am I able to use the GI Bill benefits if the veteran and I are no longer married? Will his dependent be able to use the GI Bill when she is old enough to go to college or if he is using it, it only covers him?
A: First, it depends on which GI Bill you are talking about. The only one with transferable benefits at all to dependents is the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Second, if your ex has that GI Bill, whether or not you can use it depends on if he transferred benefits to you or not <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/if-we-are-no-longer-married-can-i-still-use-his-gi-bill-benefits.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: I am currently using my Montgomery GI Bill for online college. I saw a thing saying online students would start getting BAH at half the rate of an E-5. Am I eligible to receive BAH and since I&#8217;m using my Montgomery GI Bill will I be able to use the Post 9/11 GI Bill when I&#8217;m done with the Montgomery GI Bill?
A: If you are using the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB), then you get one payment per month up to $1,564 as a full-time student. Out of that amount, you have to pay tuition, fees, books and other education-related <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/can-i-get-the-monthly-housing-allowance-while-using-the-montgomery-gi-bill.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: My sister in-law is currently receiving the GI Bill Benefits and currently is enrolled as a full-time student at our university. However, she was just admitted into the hospital last night for internal bleeding. If she can&#8217;t finish this semester out due to her hospitalization, what is her liability to the GI Bill? Or will they still cover her? Your quick response is appreciated.
A: When a student cannot finish out a semester, the VA investigates to see whether the reason was due to mitigating or non-mitigating circumstances.  If the reason was within the student’s control (non-mitigating), then the <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/if-a-student-cant-finish-out-a-semester-due-to-hospitalization-what-is-his-or-her-liability-to-the-gi-bill.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q: My fiancé and I are debating on getting married before going to college. Would that affect my Chapter 35 benefits? I also heard that the GI Bill was being cut. Are Chapter 35 benefits still going to be available?
A: No, getting married would not have any effect on your Chapter 35 benefits at all. Just keep in mind that you only have 44 months of benefits and you have up to your 26th birthday to use them up. Right now, Chapter 35 is paying $987 per month and you have to pay your tuition, fees, books and other education-related <a href='http://www.armystudyguide.com/education/blog/would-getting-married-affect-my-chapter-35-benefits.html'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Can I use the GI Bill with this kind of sabbatical? Thanks, Anna.
A: You certainly can Anna! Depending on which GI Bill you have, you either have a 10-year or 15-year expiration date from your date of discharge, so you can start using your GI Bill anytime.
